What We Keep in Our Truck, Trailer & On the Road

A practical, printable checklist of the equipment, supplies, and everyday essentials we've learned to keep handy while transporting vehicles.

After years of running Durrett Recovery and moving thousands of vehicles, we've learned that it's often the little things you forget that you end up needing most.

We've put together a free checklist covering:

• Truck tools, safety gear, and emergency supplies

• Trailer, loading, and tie-down equipment

• Lighting and visibility essentials

• Basic business organization supplies

• Extra items we've learned to keep handy through real experience on the road

Use it to review what you already have, make a shopping list, or prepare your truck and trailer before heading out.
