Tool /equipment list?

I'm not quite organized enough to carry a large tool box unless your referring to the drom box on the back which carries my chains, moving blankets and few tarps and my ladder.
Otherwise I have 3 large side boxes on the truck and 5 boxes on the trailer. For a lot of flatbed equipment like corner protectors, straps, tarps,
I also carry ramps under the back of the trailer for loading vehicles.
Oh and I need to carry a lawn chair for those long unloads.

 

Not sure if this was covered, but, also check with the company your going with, some companies don't want the driver doing repairs, with the exception of maybe changing a light

 

well I guess it depends but in the northern states things that I have (mallet) for pounding on frozen brake drums (duct tape) set of vice grips,small flashlight,de icer spray, red bottle anti gel additive,butane torch,and maybe a small multi tool set like what you can get at wallmart that has a variety of tools its hard to say you never know what you might need

 

Well it depends.

If you are a company driver, nothing except the phone numbers for dispatch to tell them you have a problem.

if you are an owner, the phone number that gets you road service.

The problem I find is the most dangerous thing we face on the road are our fellow drivers who are bad drivers.

The second most dangerious thing we face is a driver with a wrench who has no mechanical ability to even change a light bulb, let alone do something that requires some idea of knowing what to do.

I've run across a bunch of drivers and owners who didn't even know how to check the oil on their truck, so expecting them to change out an air hose on the side of the road or to fix a problem with a fuel problem is rather scary.

 

I found a guy selling light bulb wrenches at the flea market! I was so excited I bought two! One for each side...

Hipwaders. #### gets deep in the truck stop driver lounges!

 

Hipwaders don't stand a chance against that ####!

 

Test light is a must.

Makes tracking down a bad light socket or something of the sort much easier. Its also easier to find a bad fuse with a test light then pulling each fuse out and looking at it.

 

And then trying to remember what spot that fuse came from! Heheheheee Been there. I took a photo to remind me.

But yes. I now brought to my truck a 12V tester.

I have saw where a fuse looks good and it won't complete the circuit. Only way to find that is with a test light.
