Now
THAT is WAY more info than I needed to KNOW about you!! :lol: :lol:
But, seriously..... since you are living and sleeping in your truck, make sure you have
ALL the things you would have at home to "start your day" or to "get through it."
Um..... did anyone mention an ALARM CLOCK??? :wink:
Here are a few others, if I can think of anything:
One or two "pulp" thermometers (if you're going to pull reefer.)
A set of two or three padlocks that use the same key (with extra keys.)
A couple of one foot 4X4's for driving up onto when a trailer is left TOO HIGH.
A bag or two of rock salt during the winter (or at least sand.)
A couple of gallons of water.
A kingpin lock.
At least one, if not TWO, flashlights (and or extra batteries/bulbs.)
A set of small to medium size bungie cords. (usefull for stopping "rattles" that keep you awake, or securing small items. I use one to keep my CB mic cord out of my line of sight.)
A various sized assortment of "zip ties."
A couple of rolls of DUCT tape and one of electrical tape.
Two books... the Trucker's Friend (truckstop guide with phone #s) and The Next Exit.
A magnifying glass or reading glasses.
SLIPPERS (preferrably with hard soles.) Your feet will swell, and you can drive comfortably in these.... or just wear them while off duty.
A handfull of plastic grocery bags for trash bags. You will get more as you go, but you may need a few to start, or run out.
A disposable camera for "accident reporting." They also sell this as a kit, but I'd just buy the camera.
Make sure you have a "lockout key" so you can leave the truck/A.C. running while going inside, and still have a truck to drive when you return.
A stick or two of chalk - for marking the holes when sliding your tandems.
A siphon hose/pump. It CAN happen, and if you have a reefer, you can "borrow" some fuel. (Use one of the jugs of water.... just pour out the water first.)
