Free winter cab checklist
One printable page that keeps your cab warm, powered, and road-ready when the temperature drops past −30.
Winter in a cab is a math problem: heat, power, and visibility, all running off a truck that might sit parked overnight at −35. This one-page checklist boils it down to the checks that actually matter — the ones that keep you warm, legal, and moving.
What the checklist covers
- Heat and 12V power — heated blanket, bunk-heat alternatives, and the wattage limits that keep your batteries alive overnight.
- Emergency kit — the gear that matters when you are parked on a closed highway at −40.
- Condensation and visibility — window insulation and moisture checks most drivers skip.
- Footwear and lighting — what keeps you safe and moving outside the cab during a walkaround.
- Two-minute departure check — the final sweep before you roll out of the yard.
