    Prior to getting on the road, I'd like to have an idea of what the "pro's" consider "essential items" to have in the cab before they head out. I'm sure the list will be different for some, but what are those "there's no way on god's green earth I'm pulling out without this" items?

    Oh how did you know I was a Star Wars fan? The Darth Vader mask is good to put on when confronted by the DOT. :biggrin_25522:
