    What ended up being the final straw in choosing C.R. England as my starter was they said absolutely no weapons in company property.

    How do y’all handle the laws in different states? Do many companies try to tell you you have to haul their million dollars worth of freight across the country with nothing to fall back on but faith in humanity?

    If you are looking for a starter company that will expressly allow firearms it's going to be a while before you ever get in a truck.

    I've been out here for 12 years. All four corners of the country, and everywhere in between. Never carried. Never looked for trouble either.
    Why do you need a piece?
    Skeered?

    I'd think someone entering the trucking industry would have a million other concerns than this. Your trainer will protect you :rolleyes:

    Doesn't matter who allows firearms the company is what matters.If your afraid of getting jacked and feel you need a weapon then this isn't for you.

    Why would you want to trade bullets with someone over CRE truck or property? I drove a cab here in Phoenix for 3 years, and a piece in the pouch on the seat between my legs. It really just doesn't do a lot of good once the guy is in the back seat and you feel the muzzle pressed up against your ear.

    Morale of the story: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
