Truck drivers who travel long distances would probably enjoy all of the comfort they can get. Of course, we're talking about comfort that does not put drivers to sleep at the wheel. Fortunately, there are many ways to increase a driver's comfort level that will also help to keep the driver alert. Fleet Oil and Truck Supply has a number of products that will increase driver comfort. The following are 5 ways to stay comfortable during long road trips:
#1: The Turbo Fan
This is a variable speed fan with an adjustable angle to keep cool air blowing when the cab is hot. A constant flow of air will keep the cab's inside temperature comfortable. Mounting hardware is included. Heat can make a driver uncomfortable and even cause sleepiness.

#3: Healthy Snacks

Energy foods like this will make a driver more comfortable by being less fatigued from not eating healthy. These are items that do not require refrigeration. It is also a good idea to avoid fried foods as these tend to make a person more tired. Carry lots of water to maintain hydration.
