What tools should I keep on my truck as a company driver?

You don't get a mechanical education when you get a CDL.

 

That is a fake video...

 

Virginia, Indiana... there's been a lot of them come out right after Kerrvile floods.

 

Las Vegas is completely under water? Holy crap!

 

As others have mentioned basic hand tools are all you need, but I would also add a 50' air hose that you can connect to your glad hand and a caging bolt.

 

To put a very fine point on it; and from an old mans point of view, from excerpts of some of the postings on different truck forums.
You do not get a whole lot of anything from a CDL school except how to pass the tests. Can't drive when you get there, still won't be a driver when you leave. There may be exceptions, but few and far between...

 

15/16” wrench, and pair of vice grips. Can rip a blown brake chamber off and roll in 10 minutes. Had to do that one night in Illinois. Remove brake chamber, pinch off airline, and race for home

 

Cattle prod trucks. Tell you when to drive, when to park, when you go past the posted limit,when you follow too close, when you go outside the lines, and it decides to slam on the brakes for you. Put the most moronic moron behind the wheel and cut the wages.

 

Why remove the brake chamber? Back off the adjuster, or cage the brakes. Vice grip the air line.
