You can travel for weeks, explore new landscapes, drive around, and try out a variety of foods at different restaurants along the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It looks great. And it is true.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Drivers do get a slice of the travel life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But there are also a few downsides to this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>You\u2019re driving for the purpose of work, with loads to deliver within deadlines. And that may not be as much fun.<\/li>\r\n<li>You\u2019re driving for nearly 10-11 hours a day, which impacts your physical health.<\/li>\r\n<li>You\u2019re mostly by yourself, which may seem great initially, but gets boring pretty quickly.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Despite the drawbacks, truck drivers enjoy their work, given the pay and the benefits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And if you\u2019re one, you already know how awesome your job is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Being on the road for that long, away from your loved ones and the comforts of the home, can be tough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s always wise to be prepared for emergencies because you\u2019re driving through remote locations, thousands of miles away from home, all by yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the worst-case scenario, you have to be prepared to help yourself and alert others about your situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We have put together a few truck driver essentials to help make your life easy and help you pack everything you will need,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Make your travel less stressful and be prepared should you be in an emergency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Truck Driver Essentials<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This list of truck driver essentials does not only include safety and emergency items, but also some self-care essentials to help you de-stress, relax, and maintain your personal hygiene.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So, let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Permits, licenses, and regulatory paperwork<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This goes without saying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s important to always carry paperwork relevant to your vehicle or truck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Always carry your CD licenses, IRP trip permits, IFTA credentials and regulatory paperwork, and other DOT documents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This will help you prevent any delays with the authorities when passing through different states and international borders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Do not forget to include your load order paperwork in this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Extra set of clean clothes<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This usually depends on the number of days or hours it takes for you to reach the destination. But regardless of the number of days, it\u2019s always smart to carry an extra set of clean clothes (including inner wear). On the odd chance of a delay, spillage, or an emergency, you don\u2019t have to continue to wear the same old clothes for days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Shower flip-flops<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is a no-brainer. Always carry your shower flip-flops when you\u2019re assigned a long trip. When you stop by a motel or when you stop at a travel center or truck stop for a quick shower, these will come in handy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Sunglasses<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re driving through the day, it can get uncomfortable as soon as the clock hits 11. The sunlight directly hits the windshield and the light will have an impact on your eyes. Your eyes will strain, and it will slowly transcend into an unexplained headache.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You cannot afford to take your eyes off the road even for a second. Your job requires your complete focus and attention. So, it\u2019s important to shield your eyes (and vision) with a nice pair of shades to protect them from the light.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Sunscreen<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Truck drivers are exposed to sunlight almost every day.\u00a0 The sun eventually cracks through your skin and damages the cells. But that\u2019s not the worst thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The ultraviolet radiation from the sun can even lead to skin cancer. And that\u2019s something you shouldn\u2019t ignore. Applying a small amount of sunscreen before you head out can actually save your skin from sun damage, and UV radiation, and help prevent skin cancer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What\u2019s even better is that SPF is known for its youth retention qualities. So, you\u2019re actually getting <em>younger<\/em> as you apply sunscreen and drive all day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Phone charger<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We all use smartphones. And even if you use an old-style cell phone, it will run out of battery at some point. You don\u2019t want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with just 1% battery life. Always carry your phone charger and pack an extra cable (just in case).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Phone holder<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A portable phone holder that sticks to your windshield or your dashboard is a life-saver, especially when you\u2019re navigating through tricky locations. It\u2019s also a convenient, hands-free tool to attend calls while driving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Personal hygiene supplies<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you want to stop by at a truck stop or a motel, it\u2019s worth taking care of yourself, so you feel comfortable when you\u2019re back on the road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pack these things in addition to other supplies as needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Toothbrush + paste<\/li>\r\n<li>Shaving kit<\/li>\r\n<li>Trimmer<\/li>\r\n<li>Safety trimming scissors<\/li>\r\n<li>Shampoo + conditioner<\/li>\r\n<li>Hairdryer<\/li>\r\n<li>Soap<\/li>\r\n<li>Moisturizer<\/li>\r\n<li>Deodorant<\/li>\r\n<li>Sunscreen<\/li>\r\n<li>Hand towels<\/li>\r\n<li>Body towels<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pack all these items in a vanity bag, so you can just carry this and a pair of clothes when you stop by somewhere for a shower and rest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Fluorescent decals &amp; gear<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fluorescent decals are adhesive and usually last a while. However, if you\u2019re traveling through different weather conditions and temperatures, they may wear off. Carry extra decals and stick them to your vehicle, so other drivers can identify your truck (during the night). It\u2019s a safety mandate, and you\u2019ve got to have it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Also carry heavy-duty jackets with fluorescent stickers, so when you stop to check your tires or something else on your truck, traffic drivers can see you. This is great for preventing accidents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Flashlight<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Be it for troubleshooting your vehicle during the dark hours or to signal someone to come find you, flashlights are a must. Just make sure that you carry extra batteries for your flashlight, so it actually does the job when you need it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Tire pressure gauge<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Check if the pressure in your tires is enough or deficit with a tire pressure gauge. It\u2019s a must-have for all truck drivers, regardless of how far you\u2019re going. Always conduct this check <em>before<\/em> you key your truck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. First-aid kit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Injuries can happen anytime, and it\u2019s best to be prepared with a ready-to-use first-aid kit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0Here\u2019s what you need to have in your first-aid kid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Pain killers<\/li>\r\n<li>An Epi-Pen (if you have a health condition that requires you to use one)<\/li>\r\n<li>Sterile cotton<\/li>\r\n<li>Bandage<\/li>\r\n<li>Surgical spirit<\/li>\r\n<li>Safety scissors<\/li>\r\n<li>Gloves<\/li>\r\n<li>Alcohol-based sanitizer<\/li>\r\n<li>Antibacterial cream<\/li>\r\n<li>Medication as prescribed by your doctor (carry the prescription with you).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13.\u00a0SOS\/Emergency kit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Emergency or SOS kits come in handy when you\u2019re stranded somewhere or when you\u2019re running short of supplies while on the road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Usually, this is an additional kit to your original kit that can be used to prepare yourself for unprecedented situations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0You can create a personalized emergency kit, considering your trips and the weather conditions (to where you\u2019re headed).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0However, a generic, emergency kit includes the following.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Battery\/Power bank<\/li>\r\n<li>Extra batteries<\/li>\r\n<li>Non-perishable food\/snacks<\/li>\r\n<li>Water bottle<\/li>\r\n<li>\u00a0Lighter<\/li>\r\n<li>Blanket<\/li>\r\n<li>Extra charger for your phone\/tablet<\/li>\r\n<li>Shoes<\/li>\r\n<li>Extra pair of socks<\/li>\r\n<li>Extra clothes &amp; inner wear<\/li>\r\n<li>Towel<\/li>\r\n<li>Safety flares<\/li>\r\n<li>Cash<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.\u00a0Road cones and flares<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re loading or unloading equipment or shipments from the truck, it\u2019s important to put out traffic cones so that you create a buffer zone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Emergency flares or safety flares help you find help when you\u2019re stranded or when you\u2019re in an emergency. The flare is typically an SOS signal and alerts anyone around to slow down and offer help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15.\u00a0Extra water and non-perishable foods<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are plenty of truck stops and travel centers around to help truck drivers like you find delicious food. However, sometimes, you can miss a truck stop or find no parking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In such a case, non-perishable foods help suffice your hunger cravings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While fresh food is a go-to choice, non-perishable stuff lasts longer, and you can eat it whenever you feel like taking a bite. Pack some cookies, chips, granola bars, instant ramen cups, and other foods as you see fit. Also carry cola, fruit juice, or other soft drinks you like to sip on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, don\u2019t overeat or drink too much because bathrooms are harder to find on the highways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16.\u00a0 Sleep kit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re sleeping in your truck or at a motel or just pitching out a camp somewhere, it\u2019s always important to carry a sleep kit that consists of a sleeping bag, pillows, blankets, and comforter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re allergic to certain fabrics usually found at motels, just stick to your kit to avoid further aggravating your allergies and infections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17.\u00a0Gloves<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Be it a hot afternoon during summer or a snowy night during winter, you will need gloves to protect your hands from the extreme temperature. The steering wheel will change temperatures when the elements are extreme, so be sure to pack your gloves. And pack layered socks to protect your feet during the cold winters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You will also need heavy-duty gloves to troubleshoot your truck or fix something instantly before you can contact a truck service center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18.\u00a0 Hard toe (waterproof) boots<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you step down to load or unload, you will need strong boots to support your activity. If it\u2019s snowing or raining, you will need water-resistant boots to do your job without interruptions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These types of boots last longer and support your body weight when you\u2019re lifting heavy shipment boxes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Music player\/audiobooks<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Driving for long hours can get boring very quickly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Subscribe to a music streaming service or an audiobook service and start listening to some great music and stories. This can be very relaxing and entertaining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While music is more stimulating and boosts your mood instantly, stories engage you and keep you hooked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can even listen to podcasts based on your interests and mood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Doesn\u2019t matter if the service is free or paid, as long as you\u2019re having a good time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>BONUS Essential: <\/strong>If you\u2019re an owner-operator truck driver, and manage everything by yourself, you must be worried about your IRS HVUT filings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Every trucking company or owner is required to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ez2290.com\/e-file-2290-online\">file a Form 2290<\/a> with the IRS to report specific vehicle information and pay the HVUT tax due.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While you\u2019re at it, use an IRS-authorized eFile provider like EZ2290, which is exclusively designed to serve trucking businesses like yours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Trusted by over 10,000 trucking businesses, EZ2290 enables:<\/li>\r\n<li>Quick and easy bulk data import<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tax1099.com\/features\/tin-lookup-tin-check-verification\">Real-time TIN matching<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Dynamic form completion<\/li>\r\n<li>Automatic HVUT tax calculations<\/li>\r\n<li>Secure &amp; encrypted eFile transmissions<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ez2290.com\/2290-vin-corrections-free\/\">Free 2290 VIN Corrections<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Free re-files for rejected returns<\/li>\r\n<li>Online options to pay your HVUT with convenience<\/li>\r\n<li>Priority 2290 tax support<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ez2290.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Calculate HVUT For Free<\/a><\/strong> | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ez2290.com\/Account\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create Your Free Account &amp; eFile 2290 Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Other Useful Reads From EZ2290 Blog<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ez2290.com\/how-to-complete-form-2290\/\">How To Complete Form 2290:\u00a0 Must-Have Information To Report With HVUT Form 2290<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ez2290.com\/best-truck-stops-in-northeast-america\/\">The Best Truck Stops In Northeast America<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ez2290.com\/best-truck-stops-in-america\/\">10 Best Truck Stops In America<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ez2290.com\/tips-to-make-more-money-as-an-owner-operator\/\">5 Tips To Earn More As An Owner-Operator For Trucking Business<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ez2290.com\/useful-tools-from-ez2290-that-every-trucker-must-use\/\">5 Useful Tools From EZ2290 That Every Trucker Must Use<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are 19 essentials you\u2019ve got to carry with you in the truck if you\u2019re on the road in 2022.
