Top Ten For New Truckers

Toothpicks

 

Don't listen to this guy. I had one and poked a hole in it first use....

 

You shouldn't have got your sheep at the Dollar Store , next time get a quality sheep , in other words "Don't get cheap with your sheep"

 

Miners headlamp for pre-trip, etc. at night.
Decent prices at Walmart Online Shopping.
I'd get one with LED lighting.

Condoms, adult movies, and some snacks are just a few....

I'd also carry some tools, glass cleaner, and notebooks.

 

Gloves, tools, tire thumper, zip ties, pb blaster/wd40, food, cleaning products, tire pressure gauge, trucking atlas, head set, CB.....etc
That's all I can think of right now.

 

What to carry with you can depend so much on the time of year and the type of driving you do. Years ago when I crossed a state like Wyoming if it was in the winter I carried emergency food. In the summer I would just carry a few snacks. I was always more conservative when it come to what I carried. A few hand tools and duct tape. A good flashlight and a good pair of boots to wear over my shoes when walking around at night and in bad wet parking lots. In the early days, I carried a very cheap backup CB radio. If my primary went out I got it fixed on my next hometime.

Just as a reminder, there are lots of threads on this subject here.
