'Must Have' Tools

I think he was referring to the truck who blew the trailer tire.

 

Still only delivering 12 volts to 14 volts

A few sparks, a melted screwdriver - still didn't need a jump did it.

 

Maybe I missed it, but seriously nobody thought of this?

 

He said: your gonna melt the companies screwdriver.
I said: and your gonna work on a truck that's not yours and your not worried about 1****up and you melt the truck?

So tell me, what tools should I carry on the truck to help keep that from happening?

 

I'm not a mechanic, won't even pretend to be after I stayed in a holiday Inn. That being said I keep a set of Stanley tools my dual foot air gauge, and a 50 ft. hose to air up a trailer tire i pick up for the basics; to change bulbs, adjust headlights, tighten a bolt on my hood mirror, change or put on a mud flap, or replace a broken hose clamp,

I won't mess with anything else that is more mechanical than those simple tasks. Doing so opens me up to liability, should something fail as a result.

 

I prefer using a dime for that ..

 

More of a mandotory tool, even if your a company driver.

 

Yeah, I don't waste time thumping, I like to be accurate.

 

Do you know how I can tell you drive a Freightliner? ha
