    Seatbelts through the doors will give you more time than 2 sets of curtains. But what happens then?

    Only rode one, 250. It was ok. Guess I have always had Honda dirt bikes. And have a good Honda dealer 20 miles away. I'm not saying they are better. I just prefer them. No hate to others.

    What happens then is most important... Like I said, I never used the sleeper curtain, but the windshield curtain only... even when I went to bed.
    But if windows are broken open, one can easily see what is inside, unless the sleeper curtain is closed.

    I once saw a very frustrated driver beating his Swift truck window with the buckle of his belt at the entrance gate of WM DC somewhere... It took him a while for the glass to break off completely... I guess someone who intends to break that glass or open that door must come well prepared to do that fast.
    Actually, some Freightliner keys can open several different Freightliner trucks...

    Carrying a fire weapon in a truck may not cause a big "problem".... But what if... driver is involved in an accident? And for any reason police goes inside the truck and finds it? Wouldn't he/she be in trouble?
    I am a little "ignorant" in this regard. Would the driver have to carry a permit in every state they travel?
    And if the company finds out, I guess they would be terminated...

    In my former company, we used to go to ports, harbors, military bases, plants, all these places ask if driver is carrying fire arms... just saying...

    One time, in my former company, another truck and I participated in an event at a Church in South Houston (can't remember the year) right after the flooding in TX... Former President Trump attended that event.
    I arrived one day earlier and positioned the truck where they wanted and they unloaded the trailer. Then, that evening, one guy from DOD (Dept. of Defense) knocked on my door to do a search for weapons and such. Actually, he just looked around my cab from outside the door... I was cooking... and he said he liked the smell... :p Then, he asked me to open trailer doors (the trailer was already unloaded and boxes sitting outside).
    It was a HUGE event.... Street blocks closed, nobody on the streets nearby, lots and lots of secret agents, :cool: SWAT teams on the roof of the Church, satellite dish for communication, lots of police cars, motorcycles... that could make one a little "uncomfortable" with so much "security".... As I walked around, I kept my hands outside of my pockets just in case... :biggrin_25523:

    The company will probably fire you if you dropped the trailer and bobtail out of danger. No one at a company cares about your safety. Anyone that thinks they do has been deceived.
