good luck with that. pets are already banned from most company trucks. and a wild animal is as likely to attack its owner as it is a stranger.

I said -trained- there is a serious difference for your aggressive uncontrolled dog and a trained protection dog, and you should spend some time on youtube and see what I mean

You have to live on the North side of Lake Perris to get into a decent neighborhood.....


Even Lake Perris has it's problems...
We were camping there years back when some gang-bangers decided to test out their sound systems at 2 in the morning.......
I got up and well....let's just say it almost started a race war...........

I tend to have a pizz poor attitude if someone wakes me up in 2 in the morning.....gang-banger or priest......

"Jason's Law" for improved safety on the road...

What to do:

The number for the Capitol is 202-224-3121. You can call that number and, if you don’t know your senators and representative, they can tell you based on your ZIP code.



I'm new to drucking, and I don't care for politicians; they're all the same and not very good for anyone but shareholders, just like Coke and Pepsi; but sometimes they're totally full of it-- and this issue is being taken up by Senator Chuck and Paul Tanko from NY, who each have bills in the Senate and House that call for "Jason's Law":

"The bill is called “Jason’s Law,” in honor of Schoharie County trucker Jason Rivenburg, who tragically lost his life during a robbery attempt on March 5th while resting at an abandoned gas station in South Carolina."

I not sure where the bill stands, but it may be worth a call (by every trucker and each family member) to your state's Senators and House Reps. to ask where they stand on it and whether you'd be willing to ever vote or donate to anyone in congress who drags their feet or votes against it.


The number for the Capitol is 202-224-3121. You can call that number and, if you don’t know your senators and representative, they can tell you based on your ZIP code.

Better to know before you go.
This occurence is a perfect example of why I don't give a damn about the legalities anymore.
The guy may have been shot in the back because he was unarmed and running for his life. We will never know.
I know I have said this in other threads and sound like a broken record but I value my life more than I do my job or my CDL.
My CCP is good in 23 states besides my own and I'll take my chances in the others.
