Whats your EDC ?(every day carry)

rushfan · 10-01-2008, 06:25 PM

I forgot to mention I carry a 12 volt electric blanket that I plug in about 15 minutes from the turn around. That way when it is time for a short nap it's warm. Our Mack trucks are notorious for leaky window gaskets.

Probably because most of us were raised to used the bathroom when we need to go.

When I am near civilization I use the facilities of businesses that I deliver to. But 75% of my route is in the country and the world is my bathroom!!

It wouldn't come off and I figured I would be charged with an accident. The cologne took it right off with no one the wiser.

I have carried that mens body spray before, along with baby wipes on hot days, it at least lets you wipe the dirt and sweat from your face and arms, then a shot or two of the body spray and your good to go...its not as strong as cologne.

A pile of map books and a rechargeable spotlight, although the spotlight is seasonal. I just began carrying it again this past week, it came in handy on the last couple of stops. Soon enough I will be using it at 1600!

Does doing this "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" make your point more valid?

I have had several rural routes and have "marked" many trees in my time. But, if there were a bathroom available I would most certainly choose that.

cup or trash can, it doesn't matter what it is just so long as it's there.

hammye · 10-10-2008, 11:27 PM

I never really post here but I always have at least 4 maps on me (cover driver), a radio and IPOD combo, big ass water jug, books, phone, Ibuprofen, pee cup. toilet paper, DR bags, pens, info notices, Sketch book and some small hand tools.

stevetheupsguy · 10-11-2008, 06:50 AM

Forgot to mention my 64oz. cup that I got from Mobil's, on the run store. I fill this up with unsweet tea and or water about 4 times a day. The cup usually looks old and dirty, but I couldn't live without one. I even remove it from the pkg car when I know I'm taking the day or vacations.
