What are your tips and techniques to keep your truck organized? I’ve learned a lot from drivers like PackRat who carry many items with them. My first self taught lesson is to always put stuff away in the same location. Otherwise, i lose track of it. Storage units, devices, etc. What works best for you?

Plastic tote boxes are your best friend. I prefer the clear ones so I can see whats inside of them better.

IIRC, , Bruce, Susan D. had some clever tips as well.

Women have some 'otherhow' perspective on organization. Look up some of her posts/pix, regarding!

It's storming here & my WiFi is shoddy, or I would.

Yes, she's still with WST (last I heard, via a recruiter hounding Tom, haha! I asked ....) I as well, would LOVE to see her come BACK!!

PackRat & Susan D's photo galleries, should help.

Kearsey/Rainy's videos, too! Daniel B. had some tip shares, also.

ALWAYS put things back where you got it from... (yet in 20 years I still haven't taught Tom that, LoL!)

Share pix when you get this fig'd out....or GO PLOW for Marc, haha! (He's hiring, jsyk!!!)

Best to ya;

You got that right. I have a flat mid roof cab, not much space. At the same time have enough tools to take the truck apart. Half inch Makita/IR impacts, sockets, wrenches. All are stored in a couple tool bags and located in side boxes. Kitchen stuff in one and only cabinet, closes in big bag. Really, you don't need a lot of things, if you are company driver, different thing O/O, but to each his own. I like to fix/replace everything I can myself, it is fun and easy with the right tools. Cook while I am stationary for longer times, flat butane stove and one pot do it all. Even tire chain "bangy" cords are in one tool bag, so I don't have to deal with those hooks catching everything. Just think those things through and decide where and what you'd like to store, if you have more than you need.)

It’s funny how things can get lost in a truck that has less space than most prison cells.
