You wont have that much room in a 18 wheeler to store all that.
tscottme, mitrucker and vikingtruckerthrow Thank this. -

Do not get the "clumping" kitty litter it is made from a poor grade of bentonite clay that gets very slippery when wet and does not absorb oil or fuel well. The older style litter or absorbal type floor dry is what you want. the bucket it comes in if it fits in your side compartment is great although a "nail pail" from a building supply store that sells bulk nails and screws and is next to free is as good or better.vikingtruckerthrow Thanks this.

Good choice on the headset. Its what Ive been using for years now. Sound quality is excellent.
on the first aid kit, just put one together with the things you will actually use, like bandaids, small bottle of peroxide, first aid tape, asprin, ibuprofen. alot cheaper too.
I wouldnt spend 65 bucks on a flashlight, and i like good lights. Ive got a couple of 30 dollar streamlights and a 15 dollar coast job from wally that are quite bright .
I would lose the the electrick skillt.tscottme Thanks this. -
Yeah get a toaster oven. One big enough for a frozen pizza. Mine has an air fryer option. I use it way more than my microwave. Dose a fair job at cooking steak too.

Thank you all for the responses!

Maybe I’m too late, but some of those items are not necessary or can be purchased for much cheaper at Walmart.
- Toiletry bag: too big; overkill. Get a smaller and cheaper one at Walmart.
- Poncho: cheaper at Wally.
- Flashlight: way too expensive. Might as well buy a Milwaukee flashlight, assuming you have a Milwaukee battery pack.
- Keychain tool: Never needed one. A good quality foldable knife with a window breaker would be my pick.
- Reflective sweater: unnecessary. You can use a reflective vest on top of any sweater.
- Trash bags: too pricey.
- Bucket: $3 at Wally. You don’t need the seat if you plan to use it for emergencies.
