  • What’s on Your Dash? 7 Things Every Trucker Keeps in Arm’s Reach

    Let’s be honest—your truck’s dash is more than a control panel. It’s your personal shelf, snack bar, phone stand, filing cabinet, and sometimes, even your therapy session.

    Every trucker’s setup is a little different, but here are 7 things that almost always make the cut:

    1. Phone Mount (a good one)

    Whether you’re using GPS, checking load boards, or taking calls, a secure mount is a must. Bonus if it doesn’t rattle on rough roads.

    2. Logbook or ELD Tablet

    Digital or old-school, it’s got to be within reach. Keeping things legal, logged, and locked in—no exceptions.

    3. Sunglasses

    Blinding sun, windshield glare, or just trying to look cool at the fuel stop? Always keep a spare pair nearby.

    4. Snacks

    Trail mix, jerky, or that emergency pack of peanut M&Ms—because a long haul with no food is a crime.

    5. Logrock Insurance Card

    In case of a roadside inspection or fender bender, make sure your truck insurance documents are right where you can grab them. We’ve got your back.

    6. CB Radio or Bluetooth Headset

    Still a staple for many drivers—especially if you’re old-school or crossing areas with no signal.

    7. Lucky Charm

    A family photo, a dashboard hula dancer, or a worn-out coin that’s been with you since day one—whatever keeps you centered on the road.

    Your Truck, Your Rules

    What’s on your dash says a lot about how you roll. Organized or chaotic, minimal or packed—it’s all part of the ride.

    At Logrock, we’re here to support the whole journey. That includes reliable truck insurance, no matter what you’ve got on the dash.
