Had a couple of calls from so may have a start with agency, but apart from trucknav, phillips atlas, dashcam, mobile and wallet what else would you take with you for a days driving
sandwiches and a bottle of water/cordial to drink.you never know where you might end up taking your break…and i refuse to pay Motorway prices! and don’t forget your safety shoes or boots and a hi-viz
And don’t forget to check the truck your in has a spair tacho role and a fuel card. You’d be surprised how transport managers don’t know whats in their trucks or not as the case may be
Brilliant, I’ll end up taking loads lol
I would take a sleeping bag and a pillow, even though it is day work, you never know when it will be needed, such as running out of time, broken down, or trapped on a shut road due to a fatal accident.
Don’t forget your Bluetooth ear piece
Baby wipes
Dairy
Food
Flask of hot water
Coffee ? Tea
Mug
Pen
Tacho
Driving licence

I’m still using a quill.
I’m surprised that no one’s mentioned the Ball Pein Hammer yet, for tapping the prostitute’s head that you’re hanging out the back of !

yes I have these (spare tacho rolls)
I normally carry:
-tape measure (to check trailer height if needed)
-my ‘stick’ to check my brakes (it goes on brake pedal to engage it so I can get off and go round to check my lights)…other drivers either think it’s a ‘broomstick’ or some kind of ‘fetish tool’
- gloves in a spare carrier bag as they get quite dirty…(to use when coupling/uncoupling/loading etc)
- 3 spare tacho rolls
- a pocket size guide on drivers hours and daily checks (as sometimes I have ‘memory of a fish’ so I glance at it to make sure I have not forgotten anything)
- notepad
- pens
- spare change
- debit card/driving licence/cpc card/digi-tacho
- phone and charger
- sat-nav and charger
- AA big trucker’s atlas
- water
- paracetamol
- food/snacks
- hi-viz
steel-toe-cap boots are on me/wearing them
yes that is enough for me anyway as an ‘agency’ driver (when I used to do international tramping all my things were in my motor and had a big bag to throw stuff in if needed ie: when on my days off I ventured to do my weekly washing etc)
