When I’m planting my own garden, these are the vendors I always turn to.

You can trust my recommendations because I spend my own money on seeds and plants, I know who’s got the goods, and these are companies I buy from over and over again (with zero pressure of having to give them good reviews).

Cold starts are one of the biggest winter risks for diesel engines, especially in sub-zero temperatures. A block heater keeps the engine warm enough overnight to start reliably the next morning. It’s a heavily recommended item anywhere winter routes are common.
Spinning tires on snow or ice can strand a truck even when the rest of the rig is fine. Traction mats give drive tires something to grip so a driver can self-recover without a tow. They’re increasingly recommended as a more reliable option than sand or cat litter.
Getting stuck or drifted-in near tires is a real risk in heavy snow, and a compact shovel gives drivers a way to dig out without waiting on help. A folding design stores easily behind the seat or in a side box. It shows up consistently on winter survival kit lists for OTR drivers.
Clearing a full windshield, mirrors, and hood on a semi takes more reach than a car-sized scraper can handle. An extendable brush with a sturdy scraper edge makes quick work of ice and snow before rolling out. It’s one of the most repeated recommendations across winter driving checklists.
