Some of the best low tech gadgets that I can't have without while trucking. Back scratcher and baby wipes.
Bro lol yes baby wipes 🧻 💯 😂
Where's the old timer with..... i remember back in my day I all I had was a half torn map and a bad cup of coffee.....
Hopefully retired
somebody soaked his map in that bad coffee and shoved it up his ass...
He passed away
pajcash you forgot to mention ( better payment )
And the cup had a hole in it!
I just bought a BlueParrot B350XT a couple weeks ago. I love it, and the audio is amazing to me, especially considering I have trouble hearing sometimes.
I'm actually listening to this on it right now because it sounds better than any of my current headphones. Lol.
Take your fucking headset off and drive. You aren’t on vacation driving a 40 ton truck. Every fucking time a truck driver does something stupid in front of me they are wearing the headset. If you have to talk to somebody so much, you have the wrong fucking job. I swear to god if I ever find out I only have a few months to live you head set wearing fucks better watch out. You have 10 hours plus half hour plus sitting at shipper/receivers to talk to your bitch at home that probably is getting butt fucked by 3 guys and doesn’t want to hear from you anyways. No, your kids don’t care about you either because a real parent isn’t gone for weeks at a time.
I'm a trucker too and this guy is clearly reading a script lmao
I dont understand what your point is? Who cares if he's reading a script?
I'm not a trucker, but wow, these are really cool !
pepe Aguilar con. tanvora
Thanks for your comment! We agree, all really cool gadgets.
I've been a driver since 97. Basically your camping for a living so a fridge and microwave is needed you can't live off truck stop food and McDonald's. The Garmin is a great nav I'll agree. The signal booster I haven't tried but from what I know about boosting signals it's not the greatest experience. The biggest problem with 4g is congestion at truck stops when everyone is online your speed drops to almost nothing.
These are definitely lifesavers!
Very informative. Great job!
especially when im in the mountains....thank u
Steering wheel tray table for long waits at backhaul locations, and Diy cupholders.
I use the blue parrot 350 headset, it is awesome, I get compliments all the time on how great I sound
We're glad you like your BlueParrot. Thanks for watching!
djghostonthewheels bluetiger headset is wayyyy better check it out
djghostonthewheels Thanks I wanted to know what works best :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY WEBOOST 4G-X cellular booster!!!!!!! There are still dead spots where there just isn’t ANY SIGNAL but it works very well. Your gonna pay about $500 for it though.
Nice. I will definitely install one in my 1996 Peterbuilt that I am rebuilding. Anymore suggestions?
$500 for something just to make a call in a bad signal area. Fuck that. No call, text or data is worth that. It can wait.
thanks
Dope Tech........ Makes life easier and more fun!
guy on the left could do voice over work easy, nice asmr voice
Excellent content! 💯
wow that garmin would do great for rideshare and gig workers too!
Funny I got all those accessories exact same once and I bought them because they are very useful and durable love them
How's the backup camera?
I love all these ideas
Hey everyone long time trucker. One of my favorite gadgets in my truck and at home is the Belkin Miracast video adapter. If you do not have have a smart tv but have a tv with usb and HDMI you can Mira whatever content that's on your phone to tv without the need of internet. The wifi on your phone or tablet connects to the device that stays on back of tv powered by usb. Phone companies now have unlimited data but put caps on mobile hotspot (This uses wifi not hotspot) .You can watch any content you can put on your phone's memory card or play store Netflix Hulu NFL tv and streaming apps whatever. Side note for those with time ..downsize movies on your pc free with Handbrake and blue tooth to your radio for movies in surround sound
Hi Bradley, thanks for watching! Sounds like the Belkin is a useful gadget for your truck.
reverse thrust , they have 2 plans they call unlimited, I pay for most expensive- the streaming unlimited plan since it was available have not had any problems except in high volume areas it slows down , even then I can you tube and watch movies and tv shows off Google play Netflix and others. At 58.3 gb little over half way through pay period.
reverse thrust I'm with Verizon and yes, Verizon does have unlimited data but throttles after 24gb
Bradley Proulx I use the google chrome cast for my non smart TV, not bad so far. Only thing not good is that between Netflix and Amazon video I can't find anything new to watch anymore lol
Always watching , that's cool I have one at home too it's ok with the exception it needs internet to work...the thing I'm talking about doesn
Hey that’s a great video its very informative and helpful , what are your recommendation for a dash cam only? I have an older version of Garmin GPS and it doesn’t have built in dash cam, for now I’m ok with my GPS but need to buy dash cam only, Please suggest a good dash cam. Thank you
Wow, those are all really cool and I didn't know about any of them. A truly useful video.
Would unlimited mobile data for truckers be a good product if priced at €149/90days?
i was a Information Technology professional for over 15+ years and I think you guys did an outstanding job!!! Impressed!!!vvIf you guys can do this, you should tell Garmin to do more ADVERTISING OF IT'S TRUCKER GPS UNITS CAUSE RAND MCNALLY IS RIPPING TRUCKERS OFF!!! Thanks! have a great year guys!!!
#6 lover ❤️ bots. Throw her in the top bunk or trunk and she’ll always love you when you need it.
Thank you guys lol I had 3 of the 5 . I just dropped my 350 blue parrot in my pee bucket . Got to get another one and I’m ordering the dezl can.
Up know what I'll be getting this go around I def need the wireless charger and the boost
glad I found this video while searching for tablet mounts for Truck... thanks but if got any preference for tablet mounts please lemme know
Thanks for watching! We're hoping to do another video for truck gadgets in the future and will research good tablet mounts.
I am a trucker i would love all these things.
Thanks for watching Robby, glad you enjoyed the video!
Good stuff
thanks master
👍 video
Thanks for watching Richard!
Dieselcam is badass
Dezlcam I meant
Would you like information or ideas for the following driving OTR. 1. An item to lock the door from the inside of the truck cab so no one can jimmy it from the outside while sleeping. 2. Cameral on the outside for security and backing up motion activated for security. Watch the fuel caps, Reefers and such. 3. Would a electrical metal flex conduit over the brake hoses by the cab be placed over the lines to prevent being cut by protestors? 4. Personal Protection (Short of a gun) ideas? Expandable baton in the bag to do laundry or take a shower? OCAT Spray with a chemical that is sprayed too that is detected with ultra violet light. BB gun pistol automatic with CO2 cartridge? 5. I like the idea of the containers but prefer a straw as I do not want to block my view with the container.
I love the video
I need me one of these cool gadgets
Video is slightly outdated, but good for the most part. Can’t believe your cb didn’t make the list.
Hey how are you I'm a trucker I wanted to know how do you get the wireless camera to stay on the trailer will I have to drill or screw in to the trailer
We found an installation guide for the dezlcam, hope you find it helpful: www.manualslib.com/manual/996256/Garmin-Dezlcam.html
Thanks for watching!
Mark richards ***NJ
I drop and hook a lot so backup cam won’t for me.
For the inverter you may want to learn how to spell "temperature"
as a otr driver. i agree with this list.
2:12 lol ! I've been to that flying j in Salt Lake ! I have the Dezl, but one gripe I have is it doesn't recognize a lot of Loves travel plazas, or Wal-Mart's. It also takes me off I-25 in Denver, at Speer Blvd, then routes back onto I-25. Also announced crossing state boarder on I -15 in Idaho, 36 miles after crossing. Tried updating the unit, but indications are its fully updated !? WTF ?? I have the Blue Parrot headset, had to glue the earpiece foampad on, but great unit otherwise. We have several Hydroflasks, they are awesome.
Thanks for watching George! What a funny coincidence you've been to that service station.
An air fryer and a multi cooker and a urinal and a porta potty!
Can you give me the information on the cell phone holder/charger. Thanks!
Hi Tracy, here is where you can view more info on the charging mount: goo.gl/3tT8dS. Thanks for watching!
That Hydro Flask won't fit in cup holders unless you want to have it on the floor which is problematic.
I do keep mine on the floor. I've changed the lid to a sip lid, because all you get is a face full of water if you try and drink with the original lid. They make different sizes that will fit in a cup holder though. I use the large one because I'm out of the truck working more than in it.
Are the accessories in this video still current or is there an updated video?
All of those items have got to be expensive 💯
i cant find that wireless charging mount
I would suggest anyone setting up the cell phone booster in your truck, to mount both antennas outside the truck.
Microwave RF and the human body don't play well together.
John C. I was thinking of that.
I agree. I was about to say the same thing. Ppl these days don't think enough about radiation
Microwave RF at these power levels play fine. They're totally incapable of causing harm.
Link to purchase the cellular signal booster thingy pls
Good old trucking days , no short-shorts , flip-flops , or wrap-around cowboy hats .
wow
I can not find this cell phone mount anywhere
And the minute you said Hydro Flask, the entire audience just went "skskssksksksksks and I oopsed" Okay...maybe not the ENTIRE audience, because I'm sure most truckers are oblivious to that, but I have a 12 y/o who has schooled me on it.Great products! Thanks for sharing
I’m 21 I know all about this lol I love this job I can see my self doing this until I die or retire or both
Can't help but notice the first gadget is the same brand as the RUclips channel
Should have also stated that although a GPS is a great tool for OTR drivers, but they shouldn't completely rely on them! Many drivers have found this out the hard way, learn to use a map, and your cell phone, call the shipper/receiver
And 9 times out of 10 those drivers are using their cellphones which is not set up for tractor trailer that is why it's always important to buy a good reliable rand mcnally that is made for tractor trailer
Shawn Jarman even the map can throw you off some time, it's good to get special instructions from the company or warehouse you're dropping off or picking up from.
Shawn Jarman
Paper maps can't be beaten
john doe if the maps are old they are useless. Some of the Rand gps include a digital version of the carrier map 🗺 book 📖 for life.
Jorel Byssainthe I’ve had to call shippers and cosignees to get directions. Just today was blocked by a automated gate. Nothing wrong with gps just happens.
Solar battery bank, for when you get run from your truck but yohr phone is almost dead and you forgot to charge your regular battery backup.
I use a cheap 30$ bluetooth earpiece from Walmart for calls, it works great lasts 11hrs fully charged takes only 1/2 hr to fully charge and it doesn't cost much so if i loose it or break it im not to worried about it
That means nobody likes to talk to you on the phone because they won't be able to understand you and the background noise will irritate them too. I hated calling my friend or answering him because he had bought a cheap Bluetooth headset.
Most companies won’t allow you to have a power invertor more than 2500 watts. “Just for you’re information”
Thank goodness I’m an owner operator. 3000 watts all day.
Can we get a 2023 updated version
This video would be better if the items were listed on the screen when first presented.
sorry, had a garmin gps for less than months, changed to randmcnally, totally worth the switch, kept being routed through clearly visible non truck routes on garmin, never with mcnally unless i force it to, not even on recalculations. and hydroflask?! =-= i would rather get a 12 volt cooler, will be more helpful than a flask or liquid.
Myone20 truck navigation is a free app available on android and ISO. It blows all the others out of the water even the paid units
Did anyone noticed they misspelled temperature 6:56
I did 😂
Several SPELLING errors in. Your video.....might want to tighten that up a bit....other than that glaring mistake..ok video
You forgot the roll of quarters
first one might not work if the cell company like Verizon uses satellite instead of towers
SirMrLiveWire what Verizon users satellites, I'm with Verizon and I Hwy so many dead spots. Shouldn't that not be possible if they are using satellites?
Some of those items are of debatable worth, but those inverters are not. That company makes junk inverters. Even if/when you get a functioning unit, it'll destroy your appliances. Powerdrive makes modified sine wave inverters. Delicate electronics will quickly fail, & even simple appliances will be short-lived. Anyone new to trucking, be advised. Only buy a pure sine inverter, & only from a reputable manufacturer. Otherwise, don't cry when your fridge, laptop, & TV all die after a year or less...
I think what is needed is a quality Monster Grounder Surge Protector for 'Clean Power', to work in conjunction with the inverter for the safety of your electronics and their longevity.
Forget the truckstop Power inverters Go to walmart.com and get a 5000 Watt Cobra power inverter For around a $170
Ken I have been using the power drive 1500 watt inverter for about 7-8 years now. My first one blew up after only 3 months use but the one I have now I’ve been using ever since... no problems. However I also have another new one in my truck still sealed in the box juuuust in case! LOL
Ken so what inverter do you suggest?
And the B450XT blows the 350XT away..much better
I didn't hear any ofem being triple-plated chrome so forget it
do u have an idea of how much and where i can buy that gadget to help get a better cell phone signal??
Hi Christoffer, You can pick one up on our website (www.weboost.com/collections/boosters-truck). weBoost signal boosters can also be purchased at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Amazon.com and a number of local and online retailers. You can find a local dealer in your area here www.weboost.com/pages/find-a-retailer.
A cb radio?
Don't buy a solid state Uniden CB, like in this vid. They're almost completely untuneable. There are very good reasons we run Cobras or mod'd 10-meters.
Cbs are to find out what's going on with traffic, otherwise cell phones have killed the CB
A cobra 29 nightwach -29 wx nw st weatherband / soundtracker. Its what I call a lifetime radio. Turn it up and run an external antenna on a bolt/birdpirch mount. Then when you're rich, buy a Galaxy (10 meter) and have it converted to am or get a ham liscence and keep both upper and lowers.
I don't believe in headsets. You can get a Bluetooth speakerphone. - Peace.
Truckinstuff don't believe in headsets?? It's not a religion lol
Just buy the echo auto Alexia for your truck. No more need for any headsets.
OK dumb ass question coming buttt I'm sweating ass off in this truck! What can I get to keep my cab cool while getting loaded and unloaded?
Apu? Lol
FleshLight
riprockvx9 hahahahaha
A spare blow up doll!
meh my thermos keeps coffee hot for 20 hours or so
Thanks for watching!
thanks for posting
I bought weboost. It was useless, at least for internet connection. I don’t know about voice since I don’t talk much in the phone.
3 million miles!?!? Jesus I can’t wait to get my first million man I’m 7 months in also 21 years okd
That averages out to about 410 miles a day, 365 days a year for 20 years....
prices??
Hi Jalen, check out our website for prices on all of our truck boosters. www.weboost.com/collections/boosters-truck
jalen woods ... Wants to know prices, lol... Google? or how about all those advertisement flyers they paste above every urinal in every travel center?
Fuck the bt350 headset stick with the bt250. Correct u cant play music so forth but the 250 is best for just phone calls
Garmin Sucks!
frequently warns "Truck Accessibility Unknown" on roads that Truck stops, dealers, repair shops, DC's and terminals are on!
What's Ahead feature from map doesn't identify upcoming truck facilities or rest areas and lists Ag check stations as weigh stations in FL.
Locations of weigh stations and Ag check stations are usually not accurate.
Bridge weight limits and locations are not accurate either.
Speed limit listings on current road are also typically inaccurate.
Therefore truck routing sucks!
That headset sucks ass. Randomly gets a very loud high pitched squeel. The only way to get it to stop is to plug it in to turn it off. After a dozen times of this happening I tossed it out the window.
That driver doesn't look old enough to have driven that long and that many miles
The driver can be in his early or mid 40s as I am. I have an my CDL and been driving since my 21st Birthday and I'm in my mid 40s very possible.
You just frying yourself with that cell signal.
I thought mine started talking once, I herd pisssssssss. I liked a hole in it.
Wow ... listening through that video hurt. Mr. Personalities. 🙄
Strong signals mean more RADIATION! Good grief!!!
THAT MACK IS SO HARD.. PAUSE
Get that hipster out of your truck dude.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 LMFAOOOO
Ike Head Turnner hes a lot lizard
Ike Nat Turnner best comment LMFAO
😆😆😆😆😆😆
3 million and haf miles with 24 years on the road how come? He never go home? That like 3000 miles every week for 24 years yes he will be over 3 millions miles but without going home.
Ml
Hell the one guy said he been I trucking for over 25 year's ha.did he get. His license at age 10 . The only thing that is going to make you a better driver is to pay attention. Is that stuff going to tell you when someone is about to cut you off.
Smh what dribble you muttering.
Inverter is trash.
Flask is trash.
dezil cam is horrible bad routing and does not have small truck stops only the big chains. Rand Mcnally is much better
I'm a veteran and a driver.. FREEDOM RALLY JULY 3RD AT YOUR STATE CAPITALS TELL EVERYONE
24 years OTR, 3 million miles. disrespectful alright.
Bluetooth 350 is a garbage! Waste of money! 250xts the best, or 450xt
Too much radiation for my brain
obvious payed commmercial you suggest the worst products not the best
Blue parrot are junk blue tiger are much more comfortable and have much more capabilities and hase 99% noise cancellation as well as a lifetime guarantee I have no problems with getting a replacement if and when mine brake as well as it has the best battery life then any other blue tooth on the market
Matthew Wetherbee yea, plus blue tiger is like $59 compared to$169 or so for blue parrot price
Garmin is good for cars not trucks
Mihail Gujumit I'm a truck driver in Garmin is very excellent for trucks and the best God. I had them all
Rand McNally all day
Crappie items.
So much more radiation inside your cabin now
