Some of the items I am sure that some of you that conduct ADR deliveries don’t use or need such as the pipes, but the question is where do you put it all? My trucks have one underbody box, and two pannier boxes under the bunk. They also have a cut down IBC on the truck where all their pipes go. It is a struggle to get it all in, does anyone else have this issue? Where do you put it all? How do you get on when you have a VOSA pull and they want it all out to check it?

I always found that mounting chocks, brooms, fire ext etc on cab and chassis and then having one dedicated cab locker and some careful packing to work for me.

If you get a plastic bucket with small amount of granuals in then top with helmet, gloves wellies etc it soon all fits in a small space!
Reality is none of it will ever get used so pack it tightly in small spaces.
