What Are Things You Take On The Road ??

Ok guys and gals just wondering what some o you may take with you over the road. Examples clothes, food,extra shoes ,maps cash. But are some other things one would need. Not wants but everyday needs. Thanks Richard

Laptop and Xbox 360/ 32" TV for entertainment. A slow cooker, rice cooker, blender, electric frying pan, water boiler. The obvious clothes with tennis shoes and boots. GPS and my dash cam.

No cash. I'm married, don't have any, wife takes it all.

Well I am not on the road yet but I have some items that I think might be needed besides the common listed ones. FIrst would be a few pairs of gloves, at least two pairs and one of those used strictly for fueling. Another one would be one of those multiple cigarette light adaptor, you will need more for multiple devices up front and this would be a nice cheap item to get. Also foldable laundry bag would be nice to have as well, makes laundry day much easier. Speaking of laundry day you might also want to look into those small ziplock bags, you can portion out powdered soap into those instead of having one big box taking up valuable room. Medication for allergies, pain, cough syrup, band aids, and anything else to the like, this one can optional but if you have allergies it would be advisable (EpiPen's if you are allergic to bees would not be a bad idea) as you will be in different ares of the states and could get sick. Plastic storage bins to help organize things, in fact any type thing you can store things in would always be a great thing. Rain ponchos... self-explanatory. Basic hand tools are always a welcomed thing to carry, unless the company you work for does not want you to do any kind of repairs (IE change lights and such) this could be optional. Pens... lots of pens.

This is just a small list of things that might be needed by newer drivers, of course all these items can be changed or omitted as a person sees fit.

One item I have really enjoyed using, is a leaf blower for cleaning out my trailers. Once a customer unloads a trailer, they sometimes leave a mess, which the responsibility for cleaning it out falls on the driver. My leaf blower is much simpler, and much quicker than using a push broom. When it is -17 degrees in the winter, or over 100 degrees in the summer, you don't want to be spending any more time than is necessary back there inside your mt, getting it cleaned out for the next customer.
