You are a great teacher what I mean is a great teacher can have a child understand what he or she is teaching. Thank you again God bless you and your family
I would definitely add a large crowbar to the top row. You never know when you need to pry stuff (shutting the barn doors on an off-square trailer eg.)
Another couple tools that I recommend to all drivers, especially those doing Intermodal is a 26oz framing hammer and a 30in wrecking bar. The framing hammer is good for thumping tires, nailing down dunnage, and removing nails in your trailer. The wrecking bar can be used for releasing frozen brakes, turning stubborn or stiff twist locks, prying up dunnage, and more easily removing nails from the trailer. To release stuck brakes with a wrecking bar, release the trailer brakes, slide the bar in 1 of the spoke holes on the wheel and put the flatter pry end against the ridge on the brake drum and hold the bar against the wheel to keep it in place, then take your hammer and give the claw end of the wrecking bar some good whacks until you hear the brakes release. Just do that on at least 2 sides to make sure it's fully released.

Is there a video for the frozen brakes?
I never thought of that. We normally spray them with brake cleaner, send air to the brakes, and hit the steel part of the brake shoe a few times.
Very helpful for new drivers. Thanks
I hold wheel and make fuel go down. I have a multitool but hurt my fingernail opening it. Trucking is tough.
