Things to Pack OTR

If youre headed up north you will need long johns.

 

Coveralls? Only mechanics and o/o go under trucks.

Need food and water. Food should be stuff that doesn't need to be cooked in an emergency. Soup chili and such.

 

Might pick up a 5 gallon bucket with lid,or decent size trash can. Had a coolant filter head break off once,had to get water out of a creek to get rolling.

 

I have fell in love with GOJO wipes over any other grease cleaning etc. I use two sets of gloves also. One set for fueling and anything under the hood. A seperate set for dealing with hooking, unhooking, setting the bridge, doors etc.

 

Zip ties, electrical tape, test light, assortment of basic electrical connectors. At a minimum some butt connectors. I carry a micro torch. Handy for soldering or melting heat shrink butt connectors.

 

Dash cam. My trainers truck had one and I feel under equipped without one in mine.

 

Blue ointment.

 

Oh rubber door stops I keep 4. You will be surprised how handy they can be. I had a CERT team commander that required us to always have 4 on us so it is built in to me. Also gorilla tape.

 

What are the rubber door stops?
