Essential Gear For Your Truck and Trailer

What Should You Keep in Your Truck?
We wanted to know how much and what kind of stuff pro contractors and people in the trades crammed into the cabs of their trucks—so we asked them. Even though we talked to pros from all sorts of different trades, we were amazed at how similar their lists were. We came up with a list of over 60 items, and that didn’t even include tools of the trades like saws, drills, and hammers.

Emergency Construction Gear
Let’s face it, nobody is exempt from Murphy’s Law: if it can wrong, it will go wrong. And when a tool or piece of equipment does inevitably fail, break, or just shut down, you better be prepared. The items in this category are all about getting it going if possible, moving it if it’s not, and staying safe while you’re at it. Survival gear like food, blankets, and rope were not popular among the pros we talked to, but carrying a lighter was (even with the non-smokers). A tire plug kit is a category in and of itself, and we dive a little deeper into that later. Compact inflators were not all that popular because they are fairly new to market, but the guys who did carry them absolutely loved them.
