Don't forget the 90-91% rubbing alcohol for the air lines!

The last company I drove for would reimburse us for Air Line Antifreeze (basically what Stormys talking about), and I always had a bottle of it with me (another tip, pour some into your washer reservior, so when it gets effin cold, your wipers and windshield still defrost and your reservior doesn't freeze solid). And ether (also called Starting Fluid) can really save your bacon (literally, if you pull a reefer and run it out of fuel!). And a BF hammer, because you never know what it will come in handy for (sliding tandem pins, beating metal back together, self defense,etc.)

BobC's list is pretty damn complete, I would add 'as much patience as you can muster, find,beg,borrow and steal', 'cause you will need it!

I'd say I have plenty of patience. Like today for instance, it took me an hour to get to somewhere four miles away from where I was due to this city's poor transit system. I wasn't phased. So I guess that list covers it. Thanks a lot for the help guys
