    Gibbs is older than I am and I have been retired from LE for 15 years! He would have faced mandatory retirement long ago.

    what's tiring about that show, is like the 27 shows that are modeled after it.

    one week, this happens on one show...next week, that same thing happens on another show......

    repeats are one thing, but re-hashed story-lines, are another.

    Someone snuck inside the truck while she was at a truckstop and forced her out in the middle of the highway maybe.

    Yes, RIP Lady and Driver. Lady drivers are heroes in my book.
    They have to put up with a lot more BS than a male driver.
    Situations like this is why there should be a Federal 50 state
    Concealed Carry Permit. There is no reason this can't be done,
    especially if you drive, that alone makes you a visible target.

    So does one of my company drivers. We were at a receiver and she knocked on my door. She locked her keys in her truck. Well I couldn't help her and so another driver had a coat hangar and was able to pop the door.

    5 minutes later shes knocking on another company trucks door. SHE LOCKED HER KEYS IN THE TRUCK A SECOND TIME IN 5 MINUTES.

    I had a young girl of maybe 12 knock on my drivers door one night. I looked down at her and asked her why she was walking around a truck stop at night knocking on doors. She pointed across the lot to another one of our trucks and said her dad had locked them out of their truck and could I try my keys. I LOL'd and went over and opened his door. He had been watching her the whole time and had one other child with him.

    Well that's a cute story but shame on her father allowing his preteen daughter to knock on doors alone at night at a truck stop. He should have told her to go into the truck stop and stay there until HE went around and found someone who might have had a key.

    That's not a 12yo girls job.

    Your company trucks don't have all the keys, keyed the same? Just wondering.

    I had accidentally locked my key inside. A sister company driver was 2 trucks down from me. I knocked on his door, borrowed his key, unlocked my door. Returned his key and thanked him. Now I have multiple spares. ;)
