20 THINGS TRUCKERS DESCRIBE AS MUST-HAVE
#5 - EMERGENCY KIT
Emergency kit is one of those truck driver essentials you must have to keep safe.
A good emergency kit should include batteries, a flashlight, tin snips, bottled water, duct tape, jumper cables, tarp, canned food, extra gloves, socks, and a hat, a window de-icer, a wrench, a knife, fuses, and pliers.
Other things truckers need are road cones and flares, which should be added to your emergency kit. Both are important if you run into trouble or see another truck driver who needs your help. Road cones warn other drivers to keep their distance, while flares are highly useful in more remote areas or at night.
