[QUOTE="8 Hour Day, post: 2054122, member: 62076"] A few I don't think have been mentioned... -Hot Coffee. In cooler weather, bring your "raincoat" as well as your regular coat. Put your coffee thermos over the defrost vents & cover it with the raincoat. Crank the heat & split it between the defrost & cab vents. You'll have hot coffee at 6pm. -Mirror Blind Spots. Loosen the bolts on the mirrors... slide the flat ones up the mirror arm & the convex ones down. Now, they won't block your view as badly at intersections. -Rain on Warm Days. Keep a uniform or two separate. Spray them with "Camp Dry" or other waterproofing spray. -Can't Read Numbers in the Dark? Angle your right headlight up & to the right so that it's no longer pointing at the ground, but at the numbers on mailboxes. -Wasting Time Adjusting Mirrors? Use a knife or one of those "paint pens" to mark the positions of your mirrors so if they get moved, it's easy to re-adjust them quickly. -Pens Fall Out of Pockets? 3 pens and a tube of chapstick fit snugly & won't fall out. -Supes Calling? Airplane mode (especially useful during Peak). -Boring Resi-Route? Podcasts! [/QUOTE]
