In the past I have kept some of these and in an extra DIAD pouch hanging somewhere in the cab or back of the truck. I quit doing that years ago because cover drivers are theiving scumbags or won’t replace supplies that they exhaust. All of these things are something I had needed at one time in the past and did not have. My list looks like an awful lot but it really isn’t. It all fits nicely in a standard size the 5.11 Tactical backpack With plenty of room to spare.

Extra shirt/shorts or pants
Change of socks
Wet wipes
Hand sanitizer
Small but bright flashlight with extra batteries
WD40
Extra pens
Extra info notices
Extra hat
Small first aid kit
Extra contact lens and travel size solution
Eye drops (I use my contact solution)
Neosporin
Advil or Tylenol
Battery charger
Knife or box cutter (If you already carry a pocket knife pack an extra one anyway)

2 half inch wrenches to tighten your mirrors. One socket, and the other one a combination with open and closed ends.

Not sure how I did it for over 30 years with just a cup of coffee
If it was gonna be hot I’d bring a cooler jug of water
