In nearly 3 years OTR this is what I've found helpful.
A medium size vice-grip. It helps to secure a few things.
A standard hammer, to pound in or pull out something.
A socket set, between 1/4" and 1", with matching wrenches.
A screwdriver set.
Allen wrenches, and sometimes star if your truck has them.
Extra fuses and bulbs.
Don't forget the broom, because you'll have to sweep out the trailer sometimes.
And always, always have a good small (and very sharp) knife for all the things a small knife is good for.
Don't forget a flashlight.
Tool /equipment list?

These small fuses can be hard to diagnose. Sometimes they look intact when in fact they are blown.
It is as simple to replace it than it is to test it.NJ Newbie Thanks this. -
Normally they blow up big time with a prominent brown spot. But sometimes it just barely snaps the filament and is very hard to see, at 3am in the dark, with only a flashlight... heheheheee
With the tester you don't have to remove them to see of the circuit is open.
