another question from a beginner...

I have always heard, but do not know for sure, about truckers staying in some rough places, and making trips to New Orleans and Texas on hurricanes, I find it easy to believe, but I was wondering, is it actually bad like I've heard? and if so What do you guys do for protection? I know that when the power company goes out you get some desperate people wanting their power back on and some more that are really desperate to take your tools off your truck and sell them. One of the crews I worked on, my foreman actually told us that if one of us had a pistol or anything make sure one of us brought one but he said he couldn't tell us that as a representative of the company because it was against policies.

I guess this just comes from someone from way back in the "boonies" that doesn't really adapt well to the ways things are done in the cities, I guess its just where I am from, if someone messes with your stuff you bring a gun out on them. But I also account that companies probably have policies similar to the contractor I worked for.

 

sorry I searched the wrong words I guess, i did do a search before I asked.

 

Thanks I will check it out now that I know how to find it.
