2. AI-Enabled Dash Cam System

Modern dash cams detect fatigue, capture high-res incidents, and include GPS logging. A vital safety and legal tool in 2025's fleet landscape.

3. Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Headset

Long-haul drivers rely on clear communication. Choose headsets like BlueParrott with active noise-cancellation and DOT-compliant operation.

4. Smart GPS Navigation

Truck-specific GPS units offer height restrictions, weigh station alerts, and optimized freight routes. It’s more than a map — it’s logistics tech.

5. Portable Power Inverter

Run appliances or charge tools with a 2000W–3000W inverter. Look for pure sine wave output, surge protection, and multiple ports.

6. Hydraulic Jack or Air Jack

Flat tires happen. NBDN’s 16-ton hydraulic jacks offer wide base stability and corrosion-resistant cylinders, perfect for roadside lifts.

7. Digital Tire Pressure Gauge

Digital gauges with auto shutoff, backlit displays, and PSI/KPA modes help keep your tires in top shape and your fuel economy in check.

8. Refrigerated Food Storage / Truck Oven

Fuel your route with healthy food. Use a portable fridge or 12V oven to store and cook on the go — skip the greasy diners.

9. LED Flashlight / Magnetic Work Light

From engine checks to trailer hookups, lighting is critical. Choose USB-rechargeable, waterproof lights with a 360° magnet base.

10. First Aid & Emergency Safety Kit

From small cuts to breakdowns, this kit is your lifeline. Stock flares, gauze, an extinguisher, and a mylar blanket at all times.
