Creating List of what to keep on truck

I think something that would be nice for a company to give out to a new hire,would be the little truckstop guide that I just updated,because mine was three yrs old.Its cheap 4.25$ and I use it constantly.If a company gave me one of those when I started working for them I would say "WOW"

 

i was unloading once at dock took awhile so i asked if go for a walk sure, i stoped at a auto parts store hum , light bulld went off , since i was going east and west for awhile i found something too block the sun, i bought a roll of dark tint, i got the regs book out had a quik study and cut a 6 inch strip that went across the top of the winsheild on the inside, this has been a lifesaver too cut the east morning sun glare as the vizors didnt cacth it all, or the sun come thru the right windsheild at that weird angle when your suppse too be going east and sun coming up on your right angle too the truck.

 

truck wouldn't idle due to my engine catching on fire.It was cold ### **** that day and it took 12 hours for a wrecker to get to me. Sleeping bag saved me big time. Your company may pay for a hotel but what are you going to do while waiting.Breakdowns can happen anytime. Great list by the way

 

Life saver in the winter months ( I know we are heading into summer ) Space blanket and some candles. I have been stuck in the truck with no heat out in the boonies and the candles and the blanket saved my ###!

 

Pillar candles work well, a coffee can works great or anything flat to set it on really . Its not so much to radiate more heat, although it may put out more heat. Safety is a huge issue!!! Be careful to keep them away from everything and someplace where it will not be knocked over!
A single candle will put off more heat than you might think! Enough heat to save you from freezing to death in sub zero weather.

 

Both reasons.
