Roadside Safety & Security
DOT wants triangles and an extinguisher, but beyond the rules, this is the gear that keeps you alive on a dark shoulder and keeps your load from walking off.
Before you buy: Buy DOT/FMVSS-compliant where it's required, and pick locks that cover the kingpin or glad hands instead of cheap padlocks.
