people climbing on my truck....

Be sure to have it plugged to 3 shells.
"Migratory bird" laws ya know..

 

What birdits loaded with double 0s any way I think 3 shells will be more than enough.

 

You know. "Birds" that flit from truck to truck- Sometime migrate up the road to the next truck stop.
Pump guns are good. Kinda miss the old cheaper double barrels. (Stevens-JC Higgins -Savage)
Not your hunting gun so you sawed off the barrels close to the fore piece and pulled both triggers at the same time....
Could take the top half or bottom half of a door out like a dozer went thru it.

I keep a Winchester 12 pump in the house now for uninvited guests that come in late. Plug out and loaded 2 double 00's then a rifled slug. Figure the OO's will take the "entrees" and the slug should play hell with any car departing the scene. You can shuck the slug unfired and go back to the wide nozzle if business is brisk.

 

Yea their the same as jail birds.I had a Rem.pump deer gun, used to have a Cresent double barrel yill it started to misfire would fire one barrel when you closed it.

 

I know that if you tell someone "step off my truck" and they don't and are not being hostile you can say "is this really what you want to be doing when you die?" calmly with a stern look and that works nicely,if still no compliance then it's to the tire stick but I haven't had to hand out any beat downs at the truck stop...yet

 

Indeed my dog loves it when they do this, he's still waiting for them to put their hand in the door though. All he wants is a chew toy >.> When i see someone coming toward the truck I just move and tell the dog to get up in the driver seat. He doesn't need much encouragement, they usually turn and walk the other way very fast.

 

Only happend to me twice and both times were here in Little Rock. Once after delivering to ABC supply on E. Washington with the skate. Guy ran out on front of my truck with his hand out motioning to stop.. not wanting to run him down I locked it up. He jumped on the step and was craaaacked out. I just started banging gears. He jumped off before I got rolling too fast. 2nd time was at the intersetion of Riverfront and Broadway. Had the window 1/4 down smoking a cig, stuck at the redlight. Guy walking towards me at a quick pace and jumps up on the step and holds onto the window yelling to open up. Laid on the air horn and started bangin gears through the red light. Got into high side on that guy and saw a north little rock local just down the street. Kept on the horns till I got to him and stopped. Dude jumped off and tried to run off but they caught up with him. They got my info and he ended up arrested for attempted robbery/attempted car jacking.

I don't care if it was right or not. You jump on looking for a ride and you're gonna get one.

 

You kinda missed the point. Now admittedly neither of those are for "crack head Bob" who's just trying to bum a buck. But If someone has brought about a situation where I feel the need to use one of those two methods the legality of doing so will be the least of my worries at that point. Has I said better to stand before a jury then to be carried by paw bearers. And has for hurting them... That is 100% what I WANT to do at that point so waiting for them to turn around to be shot in the back is not an option.

With the loads I haul someone running up and jumping onto my truck most likely means one thing Hijacking. If they have a gun in their hand they get the truck no questions asked if I can I'm going out the passenger side. If they don't then I will use a flare gun, a paintball gun, a light pole, a telephone pole, the side of a building, the corner of a trailer on another truck. What ever it takes to make sure that "I go home tonight".

 

And here I thought this thread was gonna be about little kids using your rig as a jungle gym,,,

I suppose a little BC:10 to the face would be an adequate carjacker removal device?

 

Sorry to necro-vitalize this thread, but I have a story from personal experience from being the person on the other side of the looking glass.

I worked for a small shop in north Columbus, OH, about a block from I-71. I worked the desk with another guy and I was always the lumper. We would usually have LTL shipments weekly but would have a full trailer's worth tri-weekly (the transportation companies for the truckload ones were different than the LTL ones). One time we were expecting a truckload of skids that stacked up to about six feet high, some of which contained chemicals (not saying which). The driver was a company driver who picked the load up from our shipper in Canada to be delivered to the store. Apparently, when he crossed the border, he was stuck there for four hours with customs. He never called me, at all. While I try to be a nice guy with the drivers, I also demand good service. The load arrived two hours late, which again isn't a big deal but I wasn't pleased.

Anyways, this guy comes and he is like 40, unhygienic as holy hell. I told him that since the store didn't have a dock, but a garage, it's going to be a two-man operation. I'd use the forklift to get up to the truck, he'd pull the pallets with the lift gate I had (and i would pay him $20 to do so. This guy almost f****** lost it on me. (I also was wearing an Obama '08 shirt, and that also ticked him off) and he was screaming at me about how he was stuck in Canada and how I was being a liberal slack etc. I then told him I'm not going to pay $20 and I grabbed two pennies, put it in his shirt pocket and told him "here's my two cents. You're either helping or I'm refusing the load" (I did this because I'm NOT getting hurt unloading this truck nor am I leaving a front counter unattended). This guy did an ok job but busted two boxes which wasn't pleasing but w/e. The truck got unloaded and he had a lil bit of time left. Normally I would let the drivers hang around if need be, but it was also trash pickup day and he was blocking my dumpster and the shop next door's dumpster. I told him he could kill ten minutes then he'd have to leave. After fifteen minutes, the truck is still idling. I got on the step, the window is cracked open and told him to leave or I'd call the police because the trash truck is down the street. This guy then leaned into me and yelled "IT'S YOUR FAULT I GOT STUCK AT THE BORDER GO F YOURSELF FOR THAT **** YOU PULLED ON ME". That's what set me off, I then wrote his cab number down and called the company in front of his face and he grabbed for my phone but he missed. I told them what happened and this guy was still fuming but shut his pie hole. I asked if they wanted to talk to him, so i put it on speaker, this guy was carrying on how I was being the bad guy and then I don't remember what happened next but the person on the phone said "that's enough of your nonsense. You're driving this truck off that property, you're coming back NOW" and this guy got real pale, real fast and drove the truck off.


When I explained what happened to the distributor, I got conference called with the trucking company and was told the driver was on his final strike and he was terminated that night. It turns out this guy also was involved in a separate, similar (but less confrontational) incident two weeks earlier in New York. It was two months later that a different driver from the same company delivered and told me he was surprised I was being hospitable to him. Apparently the driver I had the confrontation with told his buddies I was a d... that'll get you fired if you didn't help me. I laughed and let this new driver have some pizza and we kicked it while he was waiting at my store. He then requested to get the next loads that came my way. I saw him a few more times, good guy.

The lesson to be learned is be professional to your receiver, and your work and your actions reflect your company.
