Truck Driving Jobs

Steve, you're not alone, I did the same thing to my work truck years ago. It was a Ford and it had the little wing window. I could have busted the rear window (mine was solid not sliding)and gotten a sliding rear window w/tint put in alot cheaper then that little wing.

ops: sometimes we learn the hard way

I carry my 50 pound 8 month old American Pitbull Terrier. I had a lot lizard coming toward my truck he woke me up by barking and growling. She seen him and went the opposite direction. He has a sense for bad characters. If a driver pulls in next to me he does not act-up. But let somebody come around who he thinks is not supposed to be there he will let me know. If two guys break in my canine will be busy with one while I'm biting the other one

. Also try a stun gun, keep it in the cubby hole.

Collard I tried that with my Min Pin but the Lot Lizard thought she was cute and wouldnt leave....

So now I have the Min Pin and a .45 Colt.

One is a warning device, the second one is in case you dont want to leave after hearing the warning device.

I have heard different drivers also mention wasp spray to the eyes. I would imagine that it would work pretty good. Just an idea, and if you ever get asked about it, all you have to say is that you keep it with you in case you pick up a trailer with wasp nests on it. BOL

only 2 big guys? that doesnt even make it interesting :lol:

but in all seriousness you make knock pretty loud on my door but I think a .480 casull round going through it would be a little louder.

Since my company rules prohibit the legal carry of a firearm, I would NEVER, EVER carry one.

The gun I don't carry in the truck, and that is not on my right hip right now, even though I have a Texas Concealed Handgun License, is a 2nd Gen. Glock model 20 10mm Auto. Since I don't carry it, it doesn't matter that it has a 15rd magazine filled with DoubleTap ammo 165grn Speer Gold Dot (1400fps/ 718ft/lbs), plus one in the chamber and two extra 15rd mags, which I don't have on my left hip right now, because I don't carry the gun, right? The gun I don't carry also has Big Dot tritium sights, a Wolff 22# recoil spring and extra-power firing pin spring, a Glock 3.5# connector/NY1 trigger set-up, and extended mag catch, slide lock, and slide release levers. But I don't carry it, of course. Not in the Comp-Tac C.-T.A.C. IWB holster in summer months, and definitely not in the Comp-Tac Settable Cant holster or Tucker Gunleather HF2 OWB holsters in jacket weather. Definitely not on the Wilderness 5 Stitch belt.

I do, however, always have some Fox Labs 5.3 OC spray, known to my Dallas SWAT team friend Mike as "Blister in a Can". I usually have the 4oz can on my belt with a Stanley Sport Utility knife/utility blade combo. The Stanley is my do anything knife, but I also have a Gerber folder in my right pocket. Because it's a nice knife.

I have a 2oz Fox 5.3 can in my overhead console in front of me.

I also have the ol' BarJan Tire Thumper, which might make a good head thumper in a pinch. I always have that at truck stops, rest areas, and other potentially shaky locales when I'm outside the truck. Clubs are illegal in Texas, but tire thumpers aren't, since they are used to thump tires, right?

While we're on the subject, Texas is about to pass the "Stand Your Ground" legislation which means you will have the right to meet force with deadly force when you perceive a serious threat. No longer will you have a duty to retreat. Yay.

My boss doesnt care if I carry a weapon or not, and since I can legally carry anywhere in the USA, I do. I dont brandish it around, I just have it with me in the truck if needed.

If you want the truck you can have it, but your not going to kill me for giving it to you.
