Having always been a company driver, first with FedEx, which didn't allow us to touch the trucks, and now a small dedicated fleet, I've never carried tools other than a hammer and vise grip until now. My manager at my current job went and purchased 130 piece tool kits for about $40 from Harbor Freight Tools for all of us. They come in a pretty nice little carrying case. They'll work in a pinch.
