Upgraded Thicker Arm on Nov.18,2018. Stronger magnetic strength than other similars---Our magnet (N42) VS others (N38).The more the model No.,the better the magnetic strength. Strong magnetic cell phone holds your phone securely.Truck cell phone holder---Up to 13-inch arm makes your phone within arm's reach. Allow for one-hand operation. Flexible extra support base and sturdier aluminum ally arm keep your phone form vibrations.More durable---Nylon thread replaced the original plastic-made thread since 22th Feb, which has proven to be of better durabitlity after repeated tests.No residue left---Two-layer TPU suction cup sticks to the windshield firmly and leaves no marks after being removed.Compatible with phone case---Metal plate can attach to the back of the cell phone either with or without a case. An ideal magnetic car mount holder for assorted phones as well as GPS devices and Ipad.
Most useful item to make the job easier for me is my magnetic car mount. It makes it super fast getting my phones where they need to be.
I have used two of these for over a year and they are great quality.

There is a shorter version also.

The next most useful thing I have is my uber and lyft stickers, plus my lyft amp. In my city cops let you get away with things more if they think you are doing ride share. IE parking illegally, driving around slowly with hazards on looking for an address, jumping four lanes of traffic to get to that parking spot.

I use two phones. My personal phone is connected to my car and plays my music. My work phone is connected to my in ear bluetooth. This allows me to play my music as loud as I want and still hear my apps without the notifications coming though the car speakers at full volume. This one is not for everyone but it also gives me the option to move one app as needed to another phone and or having gps running towards two addresses for stacking orders.
Both phones are protected by aotterbox defender and tempered glass screen protectors.

For bags the newer grubhub bags are really nice. I also have some nice velcro bags that I bought so many years I cannot find the website any longer. Velcro is much faster than trying to find a zipper every time.

A good flashlight. I edc a zebralight sc 63w and that is a great pocket light. For finding addresses though I keep Esimar D1 thrower. This thrower will put out a crazy bright focussed beam of light. Highly recommended.

Edit to add -
Not an item, but knowledge of your cities grid and the address system. Most cities have some sort of rhyme and reason.
My city; Portland, OR -
Odd addresses are always going to be on the north or west side of the street.
The river devides east and west. Burnside north and south.
Twenty blocks is about a mile. An address at 1010 E Burnside is near the corner of Burnside and tenth, between 10th and 11th, closer to 10th.
Knowing this can help you a lot! Your city will be different, but most likely has some system.

A dashcam. $100-$200 will pay for itself in case of a not at fault accident.
I bought the exact one you linked to in order to dissect. Inside is a metal wire about 1/8 in. / 6mm thick and the wire body is square (i.e. with four flat sides and 90 degree angles as opposed to round like most wire). It was surprising to me that "wire" this thick would bend so easily.
I should note that I don't know if this particular wire was indicative of all coated wire used in goosenecks. Also, the gooseneck in the Amazon link sucked compared to the strength AND flexibility of the one in my original picture, which also came from AMZ - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VNPXUPS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
