    There is a tiny ts in Thibodaux, LA called the Colonels Truck Stop. There was a good bbq place inside but they moved and just a regular burger and po-boy shop took its place.

    They really cleaned both of the T/A s in Ontario. There is a car cruising almost 24/7 to keep anyone that doesn't have a CDL away.

    So is it totally illegal to carry a firearm?

    Is it illegal for us to carry a firearm in our trucks?

    It depends on where you are, if you have a permit (where required), and if your permit comes from a state that has reciprocity with the state you are in. Illinois, California, New York, and New Jersey have the strictest gun laws so I would read up and be careful.
