How much do U drag,,,,,,,

[Lazer]

along with you as for tools, parts, etc? Thought this would a good place to ask this question, I can fully understand O/O having lots of supplies with them, curious on company drivers, union or not, what do you carry along?
I always carried along screwdrivers, vise grips, crescent wrenches, wire cutter/crimper, bungee straps.

I have a flat and Phillips combo screwdriver thingy. Small hammer. Small pry bar for those dang rollers on the roll up doors.
And the phone number to the shop.

I carry a flashlight, a couple knives, some band cutters, needle nose pliers, a muti-tool and a 3 lb sledgehammer along with some zip ties.

I used to carry a full toolbox with an airhose at my old job but now I have a shop that addresses issues immediately before I leave on my route.

One time I broke down and one of our mechanics showed up and asked me, not kidding, if I had tools.

Ah yes. I got one of those rechargable flashlights. So cool. No more surprise, dead battery. Very nice upgrade indeed. The one I got will even charge my phone if there is some crazy event that I need that.

I told the last guy that I have an app for that. Uber will take me anywhere I'd like to go. You want the keys in it ? Or what ?
