Creating List of what to keep on truck

Whoops... I see I have "Camera" on there twice... that will be corrected.

 

No, its not a "New Driver" list (as in right out of school).... its just a list for drivers in general. We have several drivers that I have noticed have been local drivers, or have just driven within a day of their home. We hire them, and they are home once a week only, and I do their new hire orientation, paperwork, road tests, training, etc. I just want this list for that type of thing. It will be something I go over in orientation. They have the driving experience, but not necessarily years OTR for a week at a time.

What I'd really like to get is any unusual things that a driver has found to be a lifesaver, or helpful to have that wouldnt be so obvious.... the things that only experience and learning the hard way will "teach" you that you better carry on the truck. So, I can actually give something beneficial them. If anyones randomly comes up with things like that....please post them! This list will be "ongoing" as necessary.

 

And, I am making a note of the "Steel-Toed" boots verses just boots....Thanks!

 

True....yes, they are each given a copy of THAT for sure! (Just didnt have it on the list) I will add it to the list, thank you.

 

I've got the cell phone under "Office Supplies" ......I will add "Sleeping Bag" to the list...but if they have pillows and blankets already...why would they need a sleeping bag too? If they break down, we foot the dime for a motel room if we have to...can you tell me more about that one?
