– Always buy a GPS Navigation that is prepared and designed to be used by trucks and for truck drivers. There is a big difference between those and navigations prepared for passenger cars.

– There is more advanced models that will try to avoid any traffic jams and accidents on the route so it would be good idea to get one to save a lot of time.
Money
What I mean here is cash – not some credit or debit cards you might carry with you. I don’t even think on fuel card with the option to withdraw money from ATM. I mean real cash.
Have some amount of the cash along your side in a truck cabin. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money, a couple of hundreds will do the work and can be a great help in some cases.

Thinks of the possible situation that you find yourself driving over night and once of a sudden truck stops in the middle of nowhere without no apparent reason. You can dial a road assistance but if you are owner operator you know that the cost could easily end up on few thousands. So what you do then – try to improvise and make your own repair.
