Australia is a nation that practically runs on its trucks and there are many brand names such as Kompressor that help trucks and other vehicles to run safely. Truck drivers deliver goods all over the country and to do so they often have to sleep in their trucks. Delivery runs may be short in the city, but once you go interstate or even intrastate it can take hours or days of driving. The driver has to pull over and sleep sometimes if he is not to go to sleep at the wheel - and it is not always possible to get accommodation. That is why many trucks are fitted with a sleeping compartment.

But with the climatic conditions of the outback and many other places in Australia, no truckie could get to sleep in the cabin due to the heat - unless an air conditioner was fitted to it. However, most air cons are quite noisy and would keep the driver awake if they were not special units that are built to be quiet.

These can be mounted on the roof or internally, on the rear wall of the cabin, depending on which one is chosen. Of course, they are not only used for sleeping, but to keep the cabin cool while driving. They have many features that are needed by trucks, including the anti spill water features that prevents water from coming out even if a truck is going up or down a steep hill. This helps the truck drivers to remain comfortable at all times.
Viesa makes two kinds of truck air cons - the internal one has been designed especially for use when there are no roof mounts to use. It gives optimum performance since it is not outside in the heat of the sun. But both give good performance and are suited to all trucks. The outside unit has an aerodynamic design.

Another important part of driving a truck is keeping those tyres in optimum condition. Tyres cost heaps and when there are thirty or more on a truck you know that the cost of replacing them is going to be high. So it is important that they are all inflated to the proper amount if they are not to wear out before they should. To this end it is wise to install a tyre pressure monitoring system that will automatically keep the tyres inflated even if there is a puncture.

In addition, this system will show at a glance what is happening with the tyres, so the driver doesn't have to stop and crawl under the truck to find the problem. This takes a little of the hardship out of the truck driver's life.
