What tools should I keep on my truck as a company driver?

I don't think he's talking about doing an inframe at the Petro parking lot.

Couple of screwdrivers (phillips and flathead), hammer, pliers, maybe a couple of pair of vice grips, Adjustable wrench or 2. Bag o' zip ties.

 

Schneider.

I haven't reviewed company policy on the matter yet, but I can't imagine they'd rather the truck sit for hours waiting for either a tow truck or a mobile mechanic then me tightening a hose clamp or doing some other simple repair.

I'm getting my truck here in the next couple of days, I already completed training.

Vaguely, not really semi trucks but I've been working on my own personal vehicles for a decade now and I usually can tell if something is a good idea to attempt to repair myself or not. Obviously I'm not stupid enough to touch anything that would cause an unsafe condition if the repair didn't work and shift liability back on to myself.

 

They’re a mega carrier. @D.Tibbitt is correct. What you can’t imagine is what your company imagines. Proceed with caution.

 

Agree. Flatbedders need more than they have room for. It's a giant list.

 

I’d take a small set of wrenches, a small ratchet set, and a few screw drivers and a hammer.

 

Look up duplex nails. Basically double-headed nails that are designed to be pulled out.

 

Here are a few of my flatbed basics.

Flashlight for load and tire checking
Leatherman tool for a small things
Gorilla tape for quick fix of tarps
Zip ties for anything that needs attaching
Small ladder for securing and tarping,
Hammer or small sledge for tire thumping, nail pulling
Beefy scissors for cutting old straps
Tire pressure gauge
Spray lubricant for winches
Extra gladhand seals, cotter pins, fuses
Retractable painter pole for pulling securement through a load.

Can't help but put my own list up even though you aren't FB

 

Basic set. You need a Phillips to change bulbs on newer Peterbilts, for instance. Bring a hammer. I have a 3lb Stanley. It can persuade stubborn things. Electric tester, tape, and connectors. Bring replacement lights. Dot doesn't need to be alerted.

 

Yes, they want you to do exactly that.

Not stupid but there are people who think they can fix damnn near anything because they helped Joe Bob take an engine out of a chevy pickup with a chain and a tree.

This is actually a realisitic list.
