Best Gear for Roadie Drivers
Roadie pays well because it's heavy, awkward cargo over long distances. That means load security and self-reliance: real ratchet straps, moving blankets, a rugged mount that survives rough roads, and self-rescue gear for routes far from help.
Rhino USA Ratchet Straps 4-Pack
One Roadie damage claim costs more than five sets of these.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gear is mandatory for Roadie?
Real ratchet straps and moving blankets. One damage claim from an unsecured load costs more than a full set of quality straps and blankets.
Why a rugged phone mount for Roadie?
Long, rough, often rural routes destroy cheap mounts. A RAM-style mount is buy-once and won't drop your phone on a back road.
