Ya’ll, I’m currently in major learning phase of my life. How so? Steve is getting ready to go back on the road as an OTR truck driver and let me tell you, that is a whole ‘nother world to a girl who has never so much as given much thought to what the families of those drivers go through. Trust me ladies, I’m learning very quickly. 😀 The whole shebang got me thinking though that buying gifts for truck drivers isn’t something most people know how to do. Gifts for truckers can be pretty personal; especially if you’re buying something he or she will use in their truck. That takes some thought to make sure you’re giving a good gift.
Some of these gifts for truckers are functional while others are simply for fun. I’ve tried to include things that would appeal to anyone, but we all know that gift giving is very personal. Just because I think it’s a great gift idea, doesn’t mean your trucker will. Be sure to think about whether these gifts for truck drivers really are a good fit for your driver or not.
Best Gifts for Truck Drivers
These best gifts for truckers all vary in price as well. When I built the list, I tried to include things that would work as budget friendly stocking stuffers and the more expensive items that would work as main gift ideas. To check out the prices on these gifts for truck drivers, you can click directly on the photo or click the yellow button below it. I could have added prices, but since we all know those change quite often, I didn’t want to do that. I know I hate finding things for what I think is a deal only to find the price has been updated and the item is much more expensive now.

-as the wife of a retired trucker of 40 years I will pray for your strength to handle the up and down times as there will be many along your journey. Over the years I have kept 2 or 3 spirals. I would send one out on each trip and collect the one he took out . In it I would write daily things that came to mind both good and not so good thoughts. I always wrote of the things that made me lonely or my frustration at having to do plluming and repair chores. Then I would thank God for helping me learn these thingss. and to keep all truckers safe. It often kep him on the straight and narrow. He said that it was good to remind him that his choice of employment was often very difficult on wife and children. My children often wrote their feelings. also good and bad. Before cell phones this made sure that each child often received their own time to get Dads call to reassure them. My gift each trip was a shirt in the laundry with his unique odor that I could sleep with, cry into, tie around my neck or put on the back of his kitchen chair.I always made sure that he knew how very much we loved him
Thank you Sharon. It has been an adjustment for sure, but we’re making it just fine. We also do the notebook thing. In fact, in the beginning, it was that notebook that helped me pull through the loneliness. I kept one of his pillows and a flannel with me so that me and the girls would have something of his like you did. I have the pillow, they have the flannel. I’m lucky that he realizes how hard it is on us so I don’t feel the need to beat that into his head like some of my friends have had to do.
Thanks so much for your prayers. They’re appreciated.
