I am a truck driver so I have a lot of experience. Chewing gum helps, but to me a caffeine pill is far more effective. There is a delay before the caffeine really kicks in, though, of about 30-60 mins I find, so it's best if you can take it well before you start driving. Also, the best of both worlds is caffeine gum. I relied extensively on this product back when I was a high school teacher and can highly recommend it. (Only reason I don't use it anymore is that pills are cheaper and I am able to get more sleep now.) Not only does it combine gum and caffeine, but even better the caffeine gets absorbed into your system and starts having an effect a lot more quickly than via a pill or coffee, more like 5-15 mins instead of 30-60 mins. Final note, remember that you will develop a tolerance to caffeine over time, so if you are relying on it regularly then it will become less effective unless you increase the dose, which might be undesirable.
EDIT: Also very effective is to turn the AC on at high power. Horribly effective is to keep a little spray bottle of water within reach, give yourself a thorough dusting of water all over (especially exposed skin like your face, hands, arms, feet if you are barefoot which I recommend), then turn the AC on full blast. Re-spray as necessary. I guarantee you will not fall asleep.
this works best

I was going to suggest Military energy gum, but it does have caffeine. My husband swears by it with his crappy rotating shift schedule. I've used it myself after a bad night and it worked great with no side effects.

I use this and this to great effect but obviously I'm just some asshole and your mileage may vary
Honestly, the coolest part about caffeine gum is that the onset is different than oral dosing. It's much better at keeping you awake while you chew it or rest it against your cheek. But from what I've found, a minute or two after you spit it out, you'll start feeling tired again.
I like to think it's somewhat equatable to the difference between snorting amph and swallowing it.
I'm not sure if this counts as "sourcing," but I'm posting a link to caffeine gum regardless, as it's listed on the WHO's List of Essential Medicine. I personally use the cinnamon flavor of this same brand. Ironically, they come in packs of 5, but the bag says "Do not take more than 4 in 24 hours."

Sleepy music cuz it looks like you have trouble falling asleep.
Caffeine tabs
Crack gum
This chewing gum, marketed as military energy gum, is pretty effective. Sure it tastes a little medicine like. But what do you expect for 100mg of caffeine a piece. perks me up after a piece or two. cinnamon is my favorite flavor.
