TLDR
The Monster Truck is the biggest multipurpose tote that we think is reasonable for someone to carry. It's a great tote for when the universe tasks you with carrying a lot of stuff.
- Thoughtful design: With three open-top compartments, loading and organizing your essentials becomes a breeze. Center compartment boasts a sewn-in plastic stiffener for stability and shape retention
- Smart storage: The Monster Truck doesn't compromise on storage. Front and back pockets provide dedicated spaces for stowing away your tablet, book, or other quick-access items
- Comfortable carry: Equipped with handles made with PORON® foam padding for extra comfort

Full Description
3 Open-Top Compartments
The Monster Truck has three open-top compartments. They are easy and intuitive to load up and will likely swallow more than you expect.
The center compartment is stabilized by a sewn-in piece of plastic stiffener. We recommend storing your heaviest items in this compartment, such as jugs of milk or other chunky items from your grocery run. If you're using this as a laundry bag, we think the Monster Truck could absorb a week's worth of laundry. The side compartments are almost equally as capacious as the center compartment. If you're using the Monster Truck as your gym bag, this is a perfect place to fit a large pair of shoes.
There are two O-rings, one of which includes a Key Strap, located in the center compartment and one O-ring in each side compartment. For additional organization, you can add our pouches onto any of these four O-rings.
Exterior Open-Top Front and Back Pockets
Situated on either side of the center compartment, the front and back pockets are perfect for storing a larger tablet or book. You could also slip an average 13" laptop or the big iPad Pro in either pocket as well, though whether that's a good idea or not (there's no padding or secure closure) is up to you.
PORON® Foam-Padded Handles
Like our other carryall tote bags, the Monster Truck has comfortable PORON® foam-padded handles. The handles remain the same length as the Truck so you can still carry it over your shoulder, or directly in your hand if you're on the taller side.
What's Included
8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap
As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.
What's Optional
Since the Monster Truck is a large open tote with simple compartments, it's the perfect bag for adding your own modular organization, if you want. We recommend taking a look at our collection of organizational bags.

I have (2) Truck totes and I use them daily. The Monster Truck is considerably larger and incredibly practical.
We love these and can’t recommend them enough.

Beautifully made bag. I feel like Mary Poppins - I don’t understand how I can fit so much but I can! Second Tom Bihn purchase and such a fan.

One of the standout features of the Monster Truck is its impressive capacity. Whether you're packing for a weekend getaway, or an impromptu picnic, or whatever, this bag has got you covered. Thoughtfully designed with multiple compartments, it allows you to keep your essentials organized and easily accessible. From a weekend camping trip to a hectic workday, this bag proved its worth time and time again. Tom Bihn is known for their commitment to quality, and the Monster Truck is no exception.

Bought it for my daughter and she really likes it. She said it works great for all the things she takes to work. And that it also holds her drinking bottles upright. A real plus.

I bought this to carry supplies for 10 person workshops. I host. I then decided to use it more frequently for everyday use. It holds groceries like a mother (this could have been called the mothertrucker, but I guess that would have had a gender assigned). It holds delicate vases to go to Ikebana classes (although perhaps that’s not the smartest idea). I discovered it has a front pocket the other day. The bottom is solid and firm. The walls stand up on their own but they are somewhat flexible so you can squish in items. The straps are comfortable and the perfect length and width. The color Saguaro is beautiful. All around in love this multifunctional bag.
