What to carry

Like skeet said aquire a good phone. Cheaper than a truckers gps. I have an android. Can get e-mail ,internet, the whole nine even has a gps locater that pinpoints your location.

 

Rock salt, great for when you need a little extra grip to get moving on the snow and ice...

 

Not to ask you to do my shopping for me but what brand do you use and what quantity do you carry?

 

thanks for the list guys. I'm not a trucker, YET, but gonna be xD

hey PmRacing..is that I40 in your sig pic??

 

Oh heck, I don't know anymore... it was a few months ago.

It was in the south somewhere...

Where did you find these? It basically sounds like the solution.

 

I have hauled Nitro, & Tampons. If it fits in the trailer, and pays the bills, Haul it.

 

Definitely two hazmat loads you don't want on the same trailer.

 

I would carry a "FOX five point three". Mace it is issued to the police departments. The maximun allowed by law. Since it is such a strong all metal case will not leak, one hand operation, slide the thumb under the cover and press.
If push comes to show, an amutur boxer would take that wooden handle from you and beat you to death with it.

 

On top of a good map get a truckers friend book tells you what's at the next exit as far as mile markers where truck stops are if they have showers or not cat scales and if its a small Med or large truck stop or has a restraunt in it. You can pick em up at alot of flying J's. As all of these are excellant tips everyone mentioned ... get a spare key made for sure it doesn't happen often but when that time comes you'll be glad you did it.
