A roadside kit checklist
3 min read · ADR Gear
A roadside kit does not need to be big. It needs to be easy to find.
Here is a plain checklist you can build over time.
Be seen
Triangles and a vest help other drivers notice you.
See the Reflective Warning Triangle Set and the Hi-Vis Vest Two Pack.
See
A flashlight helps in the dark.
The Rechargeable LED Work Flashlight has a hook and five lighting modes.
Handle a drip
A small spill kit lives behind a seat.

Or get them in one order
The Roadside Driver Kit Bundle bundles the triangles, vests and flashlight. Add your own papers and tools.
This gear does not replace any equipment, training or paperwork your work or local rules require.
Building it over time
Start with what you use most. Many people begin with a flashlight, add a vest, then triangles. Keep it all in one bag so you can grab it in one go. A zip bag or a small tote does the job.
The items cost $19 to $41 on their own, and the bundle costs $79. Orders of $75 or more ship free in the US. Add your own papers, tools and anything your work requires, since our gear does not replace those. Browse our vehicle and trailer gear.
