But now let’s get back to my earlier comment about not growing out of it; truck driving in winter can be very hazardous, and most of us aren’t prepared.
Do you have any food, water, or blankets in your trunk? What about in your cab? If you have a sleeper or extended cabin, I am sure you do. But are they thick enough?
What about gloves, driving shoes or boots, few cotton made trucker t-shirts, a warm jacket, a hat? I hope you have the most essential truck driver supplies with you when you hit the road!
If you would like to see some resources on how and what to keep in your vehicle there are several resources available, such as:
- Check with your state public safety, highway patrol, and state police (depending on your state);
- Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) ;
- Department of Transportation (DOT) ;
- Even DMV.org has some good.
Now, if you need help finding emergency kits you can shop around online at places like EmergencyKits.com or even Amazon.
Ok, so now that you got your vehicle ready for the long driving in winter conditions, what are some other truck driving tips? Some of these are tips taken from experienced truck drivers with a lot of miles under their belt!
