My fiance is a trucker. He usually has to stay out a few nights a week. Usually two nights home, two gone. I want to put together a Christmas goody basket for him. I know I'm getting him a new trucker atlas, but otherwise I'm stumped. Which one is best? I'm hoping for one around 20-25 dollars. (A link on that would be great.) I'm looking for ideas like snacks that stay fresh for a while, magazines, etc. I would like to get him a tv but thats out of the budget right now. Since he doesn't have one, he needs something to do to pass the time when he's in the sleeper. What about when he has to go to a truck stop to shower? What would be nice to have then?
--------------------
A new atlas will cost about $30 but worth the money. I personally like Rand McNally. You can go to any truck stop and pick one up. If he does not have a fifth wheel puller get him it will make life easier and it will not hurt his back as easy, it cost about $10 or $25. For the snacks get some thing easy to eat while driving. Like grapes, apples, dried fruits, and maybe some vegetables. That is the kind of on the go foods that I eat while on the road. Get some books on CD or tape what ever the truck has he will enjoy that and will pass the time while driving. You can go to the library and get those and you have several days to return them. For the sleeper get him a hand held game like poker. Maybe a good book or two that would he like to read. A small bag to carry all of his cloths and shower thing in. I don't know if he would use body wash but if he does it is a lot better than the soap the truck stops have. I hope that this will help you in making your decisions.
