Additionally, having your hands on the wheel may cause water blisters and they might lead to pain and take the time to heal. Therefore, it is necessary for every truck driver to have truck driving gloves.
On the other hand, if you are an ice road trucker, the gloves may serve you as a prevention from the cold climate. Furthermore, this means that is always good to be prepared for any situation that might come along.
6. Footwear
Having your feet in a nice, comfortable pair of shoes is always a must. Concerning this, truck drivers are not paying enough attention to it.
For instance, I saw a truck driver in the warm, summer days how he was wearing flip flops, and the worst part is, he was driving with them.
I mean, how is that even possible?
With regards to this, it may not be illegal to drive with flip flops but is it safe? However, having quality shoes and another spare pair of them is another number in the trucker supplies list for the cab.
