The American economy is driven (pun-intended) by the American Truck Driver! So it makes sense to show them some love.
So what can you do? Well other than listening to the Alabama Country Classic “Roll On,” you could consider giving the Truck Drivers helping your company go with some awesome and useful gifts. Here are a couple of cool ideas that they might just love!
Coleman 1/2 Gallon Insulated Jug: This is a classic insulated jug that is perfect for the soccer game…or long miles on the road. This is extremely functional and has a high perceived value. On a long hot day, this item can help your team stay cool on the road.
Viking Tumbler: For those long hours on the road, they will want their coffee hot. But when they get home, they want their beverage cold. Great news…this does both. This Vacuum Seal Tumbler is awesome and a great value to boot.
Pocket Work Flashlight: This item is small, but it’s mighty! This flashlight not only is easy to carry with you, but it also has a super bright light. It also has a powerful magnet so the trucker in your life can use both hands when needed. This is a powerful tool at a powerful value.
Roadster Sticky Pad: Think about safety and uselfulness. The Roadster provides both to the drivers in your life. The Roadster provides a safe place for phones, GPS, sunglasses and more…and it keeps them there. Great for life on the road. Click here for more.
12 Can Duffel Cooler: Great for the road, and any other time. The 12 Can Duffel Cooler is one of our favorites for any occasion. Great quality and the perfect size for drinks and a big lunch on the road. This is a winner for many miles ahead.
LED Roadside Safey Light: Everyone you know can use a flashlight, but this one is perfect for that time on the road when things go wrong. There is a magnet on the end of the flashlight so you can place the light on the truck…and see what is going on! It even has a flashing light setting for extra safety! Click here for more details.
Clip It Vent Mount: We are all connected to our technology and this clip it vent mount keeps it within reach. The Clip It Vent Mount keeps the phone within reach in case of emergencies and allows for use for GPS and more. This is a great gift for the driver on the open road.

We all like to think we are good at saying “thank you” and giving praise. But it’s hard. We get wrapped up in day-to-day activities, and sometimes, it just gets away from us. But it’s so important to make sure people feel appreciated! Employees are more likely to stay where they feel appreciated…and so do customers. As a matter of fact, 69% of customers that leave you, say they leave you because of “perceived indifference.” That’s right, nearly 70% of your customers leave because they just don’t think you care! But how do you know you are saying “thank you” in a way that matters? Here are 3 tips to make the recognition (whether for employees or customers) stand out. Make It Personal: Whether it is your customer or your employee (or whoever) your people want to know the “thank you” really comes from you. If you are an employer, make your recognition public by making a big deal at a company meeting. If you want to thank a customer, take after one of my rock star customers McWane Ductile. They create custom awards (more on that in a moment) and get them in the hands of their sales team. Their sales team then takes the awards to personally present them to their best customers. They could mail them…but they choose to make it personal and get that one extra “touch.” Make it Custom: When you can, it’s amazing to create an award that is “just for them.” McWane wanted to create an award that recognized their top volume customers. So we worked together to create an award that incorporated their new branding AND called out the customer by name. This award was larger than life and really stood out to biggest customers. Make it Public: The final step in taking recognition to the next level is to make it public. McWane does this by creating an award that is perfect for public display. This has several benefits. First, it’s a constant reminder of the appreciation they want to show for their clients. And because it’s such a nice piece, it catches the customer’s eye on a regular basis. Second, it gives credibility to McWane’s customer! Anyone visiting them sees they are a big deal to be getting awards of this magnitude. Finally, it’s a nice marketing piece. Though this is not the purpose of the award, it creates a constant reminder of the relationship between McWane and their customer. It’s recognition done right.
