Triangles are great.
They work especially well placed back around the blind curve that is just behind your disabled rig.....

as a paramedic ive found flares work the best to keep traffic over. there is something about fire that people dont like. works like a charm.

Well I guess it might be good to carry those things, but to be honest we never do. Don't carry them in my car either, which is smaller and harder to see.

I carry Safety Triangles and Flares in my truck. I would check the laws of the States you will be traveling through as I believe some States prohibit the use of flares. Commercial vehicles are required to carry Triangles and they must be displayed as soon as possible day or night if the vehicle breaks down.

Police are using a battery powered "Turboflare" and "Powerflare". They are battery operated, either regular or rechargable. I've use the Powerflare. They are about 6" in diameter, rubber armored and very bright with several flash patterns. They work great when placed inside a standard orange traffic cone.
