Step into a trucker’s cab, and you’ll learn more than you could from any conversation. From well-worn gear to unexpected comforts, the stuff inside tells a story. For truckers, that cab isn’t just a vehicle—it’s an office, a break room, and sometimes, a home.
Here are 12 common cab items that say a lot about who you are behind the wheel.
1. The Coffee Setup
Whether it’s a single-cup machine, a bag of gas station grounds, or a stack of paper cups, this is your daily fuel. It says: “I run on caffeine and determination.”
2. The GPS (or Atlas, Old School-Style)
A mounted GPS or a dog-eared road atlas means you’re serious about the route. It says: “I don’t guess. I plan.”
3. A Worn-Out Pair of Work Gloves
Tossed on the dash or tucked in the door—those gloves have seen it all. They say: “I don’t mind getting my hands dirty.”
4. The Snack Stash
From sunflower seeds to beef jerky to protein bars—your cab snacks tell us how you roll between stops. Bonus points for hot sauce packets or emergency chocolate.
5. Photos from Home
Taped to the visor or clipped to the dash, these keep you grounded. They say: “I’ve got people waiting on me.”
6. Bluetooth Headset
This one says you’re professional, safe, and always ready to take a dispatch call—or just catch up with family on a long stretch.
7. CB Radio
Still going strong, even in the era of smartphones. It says: “I know the value of real-time road talk.”
8. Multi-Tool or Pocket Knife
Because something always needs fixing. Always. This one says: “I don’t wait for help. I figure it out.”
9. Logbook or ELD Tablet
Whether it’s paper or digital, this is the heart of your operation. It says: “I know how to run legal—and run smart.”
10. Good Boots (Right by the Door)
Heavy, reliable, and broken in just right. They say: “I don’t sit behind a desk—I earn every mile.”
11. A Dash Decoration
From lucky dice to bobbleheads, every cab has at least one personal touch. It says: “This rig’s mine.”
12. Proof of Insurance
Tucked in the glovebox or saved on your phone, it’s the one thing you hope you never need—but can’t risk being without.
It says: “I take this business seriously.”
