What's in your toolbox - Besides tools?

Also a tire bar or crow bar, blow an outside tire or lose the bead go head get that tire off and don't have to call roadside service just drive onto the tire shop.

 

Starting relay...You need one of those, they are cheap, around $20. Keep extra one in case your truck doesnt start. And all above is good to have^^^

 

Dont forget the pistol, so when you get really tired of the industry you can just shoot yourself...

 

One thing nbody mentioned; a roll of "mechanic's wire". Used to be in every truckstop but hardly ever see it anymore. Heavy, non-insulated solid wire, usually black. A hundred or more uses.

 

Body parts in plastic bags.

Just noticed this. When I ran a daycab, I kept significantly more spare parts and tools than I did driving OTR. Though I think it's just a matter of different scenarios.

 

Well I would keep them if I had the room, I have one small side box I have to keep ALL off my stuff in. Even though I usually run rolloff boxes, we have a 20' flat that we use to haul machinery and I have to have all my securement stuff in that box also. I also park my truck at the shop every night with access to all the fluids and spare parts on hand. I do have ALOT of hand tools with me though.

 

A gag, zip ties, and dead hooker parts.

I keep a secondary "tool kit" that's a trauma / bug-out kit. I've seen some rough accidents that the kit came in handy for ... was a medic in the Army so I guess I double as an EMT trucker, ha!
