You need to keep your mind active. Eating, puzzles, engaging radio and talking are all helpful in keeping your mind occupied. Besides humans being diurnal there is also flat out more to see during the day. Thus your mind stays occupied.
Sense much of the radio I listen too during the day are reruns at high i usually opt for real estate/business podcasts and writing stories via dragon naturally (just got my first paranormal trucking story published on Kindle under the name Mace Valens.)
Another thing you need to remember is that your shift is 14 hrs long. So if you use the entire thing up, you should have 1-3 hrs of available nap time. Company don't like it? Well theres always swift, prime, Schneider, ups, con way, old dominion, interstate , dot...

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
Commercial trade, business, movement of goods or money, or transportation from one state to another, regulated by the Federal Department Of Transportation (DOT).
I forgot to add that you may want to consider eating rather than drinking coffee. Pilot has single serving coffee pouches you can buy. Cut one open, dump the grounds into some hot cocoa/soda/water or con sume it raw. The cafeen kick will be a bit stronger.
I personally don't like talking on the phone as from time to time you can find yourself concentrating more on the conversation than the road. Crack your window about a half inch, even if its cold. My personal activity is singing (Insert jokes here). XM radio and my music on my phone get lots of airplay at night. And as stated before, stop and take those power naps. 30-45 minutes really help.
