    How many of you carry with you a sheet of emergency contact information (employer name/phone number), insurance information, and information about who to contact in the event of a collision resulting in your inability to speak for yourself and medical decisions need to be made?

    It sounds like a good thing to have. I will definitely keep one with me when I get out there.

    I have a template for one, attached. Feel free to review and add as needed.

    I had to make this a PDF (the site won't accept word files).

    I have such a list in my wallet. it has next of kin, medical info.

    I also keep a copy in my briefcase.

    My family has been put wise on how to confirm anyone calling, as in the case for instance, should my wallet (or briefcase) ever be stolen and someone tries to scam them.

    Hopefully they can get to my phone and call MOM or DAD, the Ottebox should hold up in a crash.

    I read somewhere on another forum how one guy had a sheet with all the info for his wife while he was on the road ... It included everything about the truck, insurance, the company contacts, the company passwords and all the medical info that was needed - blood type, insurance info and so on.

    Might be a good time to also remind everyone to keep your emergency contact info updated with your employer, as well. Lot's of times phones and wallets are the first items to be lifted when a scene turns ugly and the only thing LE has to work with is carrier name and truck number.

    Google (Android) has a way you can add certain numbers to ICE Group (In case of Emergency)
    I'd imagine Apple/Iphone has something like that as well.

    In my phones contact list I have my wife name preceded by the letters ICE (In Case of Emergency). First responders will check for this when looking for contact info.

    My contact sheet is based on one used by many members of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association.

    ICE contacts in phones are great if you don't lock them preventing accidental "butt dialing".

    There is also a product for outdoor active sports (running, cycling, hiking, hunting, etc.) that could have a driving application called RoadID. Here is the link: http://www.roadid.com/
