Quick picks

Everlasting Comfort memory foam seat cushion

Drivers spend most of the day on one seat, so cushioning is the most practical gift on this list. This one is made for office chairs and cars, and it is the most-reviewed item here.

• Memory foam seat cushion, large, black
• Aimed at tailbone and sciatica discomfort, per the listing
• $45.95 on our check
• 4.2 out of 5 stars from about 97,800 ratings
• 1,000+ bought in the past month

Worth knowing: it is a general office and car cushion, not a cab-specific one, so a driver with an air-ride seat should check the size.

ComfiLife lumbar support back pillow

A lumbar pillow pairs well with a seat cushion and costs about the same. It straps to the seat so it stays put over bumps.

• Memory foam with an adjustable strap
• Breathable 3D mesh cover
• $52.99 on our check
• 4.4 out of 5 stars from about 11,000 ratings

Worth knowing: it is sold for office chairs and car seats, so fit in a truck seat varies.

NOCO Boost GB50 1500A jump starter

This is the splurge. A lithium jump starter is useful for any driver caught with a dead battery in a Canadian winter, and the listing rates it for engines up to 7.0 L gas and 4.5 L diesel.

• 12V lithium battery booster, 1500 amps
• Spark-proof with reverse polarity protection
• Listed for up to 7.0 L gas and 4.5 L diesel engines
• $204.95 on our check
• 4.6 out of 5 stars from about 16,700 ratings; 400+ bought in the past month

Worth knowing: the 4.5 L diesel limit is below what many heavy-duty tractors use, so it suits a pickup or small truck better than a Class 8 rig.

RoadPro is a trucking-accessory brand, and this is the budget pick: a blue organizer with 14 pockets for small items.

• $24.08 on our check
• 4.6 out of 5 stars from about 700 ratings

Worth knowing: it is a soft fabric organizer, so it suits light items rather than heavy tools.

Retractable CB mic holder

For a driver who still uses a CB radio, a retractable mic holder keeps the cord out of the way. It is a small, thoughtful gift.

• Stainless retractable lanyard with a carabiner
• Listed as fitting truck cabs, keys and belts
• $27.94 on our check
• 4.6 out of 5 stars from 30 ratings

Worth knowing: only 30 ratings so far, so there is little long-term feedback.

• Kneading deep-tissue massage
• $89.89 on our check (list price $99.99)
• 4.2 out of 5 stars from about 5,200 ratings
