Starting a "Things To Keep In Truck" list

Yep, same Mother, different Fathers.

 

Yikes!! What a melodrama

 

That's an important one Chinatown, although we all hope those kind of roadside emergencies are few and far between. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to list it, and then I hit your post. As usual, you provide lots of good info for this forum. Good luck to the OP!

 

What about a magnetic flashlight? Would be handy when checking the fifth wheel and under the trailer.

 

No one said it yet but the most important is to bring your brain. So many drivers leave those at home lately.

 

Yeah, I have one of those head band flashlights from the Army, definitely better than trying to hold a flashlight with your teeth lol

 

VICE GRIPS, tape measure, 12 volt circuit test light,several cans of sterrno ( canned heat ), spare cell phone charger system, eye glass prescription, bungee cords, hat, camera,battery operated flashing emergency red LED light, knife,roll of quarters for vending machines, and a coupla ones,bottle of glass cleaner, empty plastic gallon oil jug,tube of JB weld, screw on valve stem caps, tire valve stem core tool,tire gauge,50 foot section of air hose with glad hand fitting and air chuck, small can of 90 weight gear lube for leaking hubs, plastic hub cap for wheels,and the other stuff already listed.

 

I like having a CB radio. Not much going on there anymore, but usually when you run into a traffic back up truckers are advising wich lane is best.

 

Also, zip ties... when Tandems are slid way up, it helps to lift the dangling lines higher. Good for hiding spare keys, hold up a dangling landing gear crank handle. ..ect.
