What tools and gadgets should I carry OTR?

Write your name on it, and you can role play you’re the dispatcher!

 

If you buy half of what everyone recommends you will need a trailer just to carry the tools.

It depends on your mechanical ability. If you plan to call breakdown service to replace a fuse, carry nothing. I would carry a multimeter to test voltage and polarity, continuity. I'd carry duct tape, screwdriver set, small wrench set, hammer, a vise-grip pliers, flashlight, leather gloves, 5th wheel pin puller, set of fuses (once you know what type your truck uses). Fuses are about $2 per 10 pack at Walmart and $10 for a set of one each in various capacity at a truck stop. 20 amp fuses are most useful.

 

Had to send mine back to the manufacturer for resurfacing

 

This and this

 

BFH!

 

Some I didnt see are push broom/dust pan, bolt cutters for heavy duty seals, and while rarely used my crowbar has come in very handy at times. Good for getting stubborn pins to pop out, can pull nails out of the trlr with it, and if your grill ever gets covered in inches of ice it makes a helluva ice chisel.

 

10-2, 10-4.

I Was A Company Driver For 5 Years With A Local Outfit B4 I Stepped Away In Early '18.
Except For The Fantasy "Unique Items", I Carried Most Listed Items (Combo Packs) As Well Some Other Items Supplied By The Owner, Mostly Being TOOLS.
Clothes, Food, Water, Related, and Some Tools Were Carried In Central Under Bunk Section Which Was Separate From Driver Side Box.
One Never Knows In Advance What One May Need OTR Apart From Survival Supplies.

10-10.

 

take things you would use on a camping trip. you'll figure it out - best of Luck

 

If you can’t fix it with duct tape and a hammer. It cant be fixed.

 

If you can fix it with duct tape, it wasnt broken and you had no buisness putting that vile stuff on it...

(Personally hate the stuff)
