You’re kidding me…
Right? Every cardboard number plate I have seen on the trailer or been asked to run with has gone straight in the bin.
I also carry spare pants, toothpaste and a toothbrush. No-one wants to run home after an ‘unplanned’ night out in yesterday’s pants.
I have an Am-Tech 49pc bit set that has a mini-driver in it, that’s been useful on many an occaision.
Small basic 1st aid kit. Plasters paracetamol anti septic cream. Etc
Driving licence,driver’s card,dqc, ROAD-ATLAS with bridge heights,
spare tacho rolls or cards. Phone charger plug,
Sandwiches, flask,travel mug, a pen…
But I leave everything in my truck lots easier.

To be honest, never done it I was just trying to think of an example of why to carry a marker. I have always found it handy for labelling trailers VOR or whatever.

You carry a black marker (or a green and a red one if you work for Stobarts) and also tippex to remove those scuffs you err never put or seen before honest guv… 
And no I don’t or haven’t but it’s not a bad idea now I think about it…

I was told that it is better to run with no number plate (then plead that someone must have nicked it for a prank) rather than stick a bit of cardboard in which means you were aware that the trailer didn’t have a legal plate… just a thought…
Agree with wire ties & gorilla tape as essentials.
With some of these posts on contents it’s more like a bloody suitcase needed not a drivers bag!
I’ve got a fishing carp bag I use as it’s got loads of pockets and still feels overfilled by time you get all the stuff in it!
