For work that happens out of a vehicle: clipboards and storage clipboards that survive a ute tray, carry cases and expanding files that keep paperwork in order between jobs, vehicle log books and invoice and receipt books, pocket notebooks, industrial markers that write on the surfaces a normal pen refuses, plus laptop bags, power banks, car chargers, torches, hi-vis and hard hats.

The two things that go wrong on the road are a flat phone and paperwork that never made it back to the office. Fix both once: a power bank in the glovebox and a carry case that lives in the vehicle. See clipboards, bags & cases, power banks and first aid kits.
