this is it right there. Only take what you can fly home with, because if you get fired or ticked off & quit in bum duck Egypt what doesn’t fit in your duffle bag gets donated.
Should I bring tools with me?

When you have your own solo truck I would bring
4 or 5 pound mini-sledge hammer
3 foot wrecking bar (crow bar)
multi-bit screwdriver set
some 5, 10,15, 20-amp fuses for the truck (buy individual packs of each fuse NOT MULTI-PACK or variety pack)
duct tape
adjustable wrench
vise-grip
headlamp/flashlight
leather glovesdosgatos, austinmike, blairandgretchen and 1 other person Thank this. -
Nah - Forget all that respectfully.
He's on a training mission. The trainer can solve the problems, and he can learn from them - then figure it out later.
Just bring tools for survival. Like - a credit card to fly home on, and buy food, and get a motel - Cash in hand.
He'll probably be smarter than the trainer - you just don't know.Speedy356, tscottme, austinmike and 2 others Thank this. -
Ooops, sorry bud - missed that first comment.
Yes, when he's in his own truck, let the tool fest commence

As a company driver, you're better off with a good pair of Pliers, Medium size adjustable wrench, and a roll of electrical and duct tape. If these tools can't fix the problem your better off calling the company.
Snyd Thanks this. -
