Fuel hauler essentials?

So I put in my notice at my current job and will be starting out with hauling fuel in two weeks. After running a night shift line haul run this is going to be a huge change. Any items I should pick up to make my day a little easier?

Being way up north I am also interested in winter wear. While I have a good heavy set of arctic lined bibs and a carhart jacket both a are bit to bulky. Got a good recommendation on a set of bibs or a jacket that will keep me comfortable both in and out of the truck that is not going to fall apart right away? I have a few sets of red wing work boots both insulated and non but if you have a suggestion on a good insulated set that works well in snow and ice I'm all ears as well.

Any other must have items to show up with on the first day so I don't look like a total fool?

 

They do provide a 500 dollar yearly allowance, which in my experience really isn't much. I've spend that much on two pairs boots in the past. I was also surprised when I asked about FR Clothing and they said it wasn't required. I still have some FR clothing from a previous job which I am sure I will put to use but starting out in January in northern MN I want to be prepared right away. It'll make it much easier to learn the job if I'm comfortable and not sweating or freezing the whole time.

I also like to have backups. So even with the allowance I want extras. Who wants to put on half wet clothing again the next day after playing in the snow all day the day before? Yearly snowfalls in the area I will be covering can be from 45 to 200+ inches thanks to lake effect snow.

 

According to them it wasn't other than a few loading racks which will provide a FR smock, I found that pretty surprising as well. Then again if 8000 gallons of gas lights off ain't much gonna save ya anyway I guess. I'll probably pony up the extra cash anyway for FR outerwear. Better safe than sorry.
