#1. CHALLENGE YOUR MUSIC TASTES

Check out: 10 Best Trucking Songs for Aussie Truckers

It’s great to put on music you love...But try listening to something that you wouldn't normally go for. If you spend most of your time singing along to country ballads, why not surprise yourself with some classical music? Or traditional folk? You might not like it straight away - but give it some time.

#2. LISTEN TO AUDIO BOOKS

One sure-fire way to keep yourself entertained on the road is by listening to an audio book that's seriously entertaining. Try finding something funny - not only will this deter boredom, it'll also keep your spirits up.

#3. TAKE A FIVE MINUTE EXERCISE BREAKYou might feel reluctant to stop when you have a tight deadline to meet, but it's amazing how refreshing a quick exercise break can be - even if it's for just five minutes.

A truck is the perfect place to practise your singing. With no one else around, there's no need to feel self-conscious. Rather than simply singing along with every song on the album, actually practise learning one - properly. Sing it over and over until you've memorised the lyrics and got the timing right.

#5. PRACTISE YOUR SINGING
