Whether out of necessity or not, these five gadgets can make your daily long journey a more productive, safe, and enjoyable one:

- AiDA. AiDA is quite possibly the most technologically advanced of these 5 truck gadgets for men. AiDA is currently in development, but when finished will be able to warn a driver about heavy traffic, suggest alternate routes, suggest places to refuel when a driver is low on gas and even smile when a driver has an angry driving face. This is the gadget of the future.

It turns the rarely used cigarette lighter into one of the handiest devices a guy can have in his truck.

With forward collision warning systems that help drivers keep a safe following distance with rear and front sensors. The Blind Spot Warning system alerts drivers of unsafe situations on the road based on vehicles or objects in adjacent lanes. Definitely a most have for truckers.
