Weight of supplies for Otr

Everything I own can fit in one duffle bag, one backpack and a dirty laundry tote. I learned a long time ago to pack light, never know what may happen

 

My thing is, at any time I can have an accident and get terminated any time, do I want to bother with boxes and shipping things home. NOPE. I'll just pack light

 

Wouldn't worry about. Fuel weight will be your biggest concern at times...not personal stuff.

 

If its a heavy load I scale empty, then they can cut what's needed to make me legal.

 

Not enough to justify doing it.

 

I carry one overnight bag and an extra pair of boots, in addition to my sleeping bag, pillow and winter coat. That's the extent of my personal stuff, maybe weighs 50 lbs.

Now as for tools, that can vary by local, regional, OTR, Van, flatbed, reefer, intermodal. My partial list of tools: two pry bars, binder bar, cheater bar, HD wire cutters (actually used for cutting garage door cables), skeletonized bolt cutters with replaceable jaws (weigh about 14 lbs), tire inflation hose, scraper, 3lb sledge, regular hammer, quart of oil, quart of brake line anti-freeze, 2 gal. of washer fluid, and a well stocked small tool box. Someplace in there is also a electrical repair kit I think. Maybe 30 to 40 lbs.
