When you're hauling at highway speeds, a clear windshield isn't optional—it's survival. This professional-grade long-handle squeegee clears your entire windshield in one pass, reaching every inch of glass. Skip the filthy truck stop tools that leave streaks and keep a reliable squeegee in your cab that's always clean and ready when you need it.

Stop straining to reach your dipstick or the top of your windshield. This heavy-duty folding step stool puts you at the perfect height for topping off fluids and cleaning glass—no straining, no back pain. Folds flat to store behind your seat or in your side box.

Rechargeable headlamps deliver powerful, hands‑free light for chaining up, inspecting your rig, or navigating dark lots—without ever buying overpriced truck‑stop batteries. Waterproof, durable, and USB‑C powered, they’re built for real work on the road and they stay ready whenever you are.

More than just a hammer—it's your roadside problem solver. Use it to pry rocks out of your tire treads, smash ice off your brakes, check for tire inflation, or as a general-purpose lever for all sorts of roadside situations. Also makes a good backscratcher.

Properly inflated steer tires absorb road impacts, reducing vibration through the steering wheel and reduce fatigue. This portable air compressor automatically shuts off when it reaches your selected PSI, so you can set it and move on with your pre-trip inspection instead of standing around babysitting it. No more hunting for working truck stop air lines or dealing with gladhand connections—just fast, accurate inflation that saves you time.

Keep your hands warm, clean, and dry when you have to put on chains. And fueling in freezing weather doesn't have to be miserable! These durable, waterproof, insulated, chemical-resistant gloves keep your hands ready for the road.

This compact and convenient waste basket tucks neatly beside the driver seat so you can keep your space tidy without crowding your cab. The pop‑up lid locks in odors and keeps your rig clean and comfortable mile after mile.

Whether you're starting your day or shutting down for the night, USB rechargeable motion-sensing lights will brighten the dark corners of your cab so you don't have to fumble around when you're looking through your storage spaces. Thanks to the magnetic backing, you can easily remove the lights for quick recharging and snap them right back into place without hassle.

After 14 hours over-the-road, quality rest is crucial for safe driving. Upgrade your sleeper cab with comfortable bedding, memory foam mattress, and supportive pillows sized specifically for truck sleepers.

Why settle for terrible truck stop coffee? With rich, hot brews in your cab, every mile feels a little easier and pods make cleanup a breeze.

Long hauls can get lonely. Audiobooks and podcasts keep your mind engaged and entertained, making those long stretches of road fly by while making you laugh, expanding your knowledge or immersing you with a movie in your mind. Audible.com offers a 30 day free trial with a free audiobook to get you started, so we recommend you give "A Trucker's Tale: Wit, Wisdom, and True Stories from 60 Years on the Road" by Ed Miller a try.
