In the cab I have these kind of red strobe light lanterns that look vaguely like R2D2 that I can set out in lieu of flares. I also have a fire extinguisher, FAK, brunton pocket transit, a pair of FRS/GMRS radios, a 3D cell maglite, 100' steel tape, gorilla tape (for hose patching) and my pool cue.

I have a GHB, cables, tire pump and a tow strap. At this time I don't plan on doing to much work if I brake down. I'll use the cell phone for now. If i'm going farther away I pack different items.

so.... no one has a shovel , you must all live in a concrete jungle, may have to dig yourself out of the sand, or up north, the snow ??

Sorry, forgot to mention I have 2 shovels in the tool box as well. One is a CS Special Forces shovel (it also throws and sticks really well) and a T handle short spade. Forgot to mention the 4 Lb cross peen also.

Mine changes depending on season, currently in winter, even though we have no snow my snow kit is in the car.

It consists of:
3 gallons of water.
6 MRE meals, 2 mountain house meals, heating packs for each.
30 portable hand warmers.
2 quarts oil.
Fix a flat.
Cold weather sleeping bag.
10 Flares, 2 sided signal flag, with magnetic corners(put on roof, easier to see from above, plane, high cab snowplow, etc.)
exhaust jack bag.
2 black diamond collapsible shovels
BOB.
Bear spray in 2 different sizes.
3 N95 masks.
portable tool kit.

Everything except water is in a large tupperwear container, with the lid duct taped on, a list with the contents on the outside, and the date it was packed.

In summer, it changes, I have 2 separate containers, one for winter, one for summer. So I have doubles of some things, such as the MRE's.

I'm still developing this, but I have the GHB I showcased in my latest field test in there, a spring loaded punch tool for glass breaking and a tire gauge in the center console. My goretex jacket, a wool hat, and gloves, insulated boots, a standard overnight bag with a toiletry kit, a snow shovel, insulated coveralls, tool box, jumper cables, a floor jack, and my NBC gear are all in the back.

I'm taking notes, as mine is lacking in some areas. I always have my GHB with me, which includes my Gerber LMF II knife (the butt end has a glass break), a small shovel, hatchet, MRE (mountain house x 4), 3 bottles of water, gloves, hand warmers, fire starters, Glock 19 with 2 spare mags (I keep a box of ammo in the car as well), emergency bivvy, and my rain gear. In the vehicle is always my jumper cables, my outer shell rain gear (jacket has a fleece liner for 3 season wear), I keep 2 blankets, a bag of tools including screw drivers, wrenches, small hammer, nut driver set. I know I'm missing some things that are in it...but like I said, I've taken notes from here and need to add some things to it.
