Should a driver pay for leaving their keys inside the truck?

When I got my truck new from the dealer, we were given 4 keys. When I took it to the office to have the identification stuff put on, I asked for 2 of them so I could hide one in the engine area.

 

I always hide one in my left pants pocket.
The right side is for the main key.

Since I never go out of the truck without pants, I figure I am good.

 

If I didn't have a spare and locked myself out I would pay for it on my own so nobody knew about it out of embarrassment. I'm not afraid to say it, I wouldn't want my boss to have to hit me with the "Really dude, I pay you to be a professional" because that's exactly what I would get and he would be 100% correct.

 

i keep a spare key in my pocket, ALWAYS

 

Nah. Companies should provide spare keys if they dont want to pay for locksmiths. Drivers get in and out of their trucks sometimes 20+ times a day especially local. It's only a matter of time before one of those times leads to a lockout.

 

20 years of being a local guy and I've never done it. I realize that I just screwed myself by saying that lol.

 

Yep, you jinxed it.... next week, it'll happen to you..... lol

 

Yep. Better go make a spare key lol

 

I have one on my personal car keys that stay in my pocket lol.

 

Its against company policy for me to leave my truck without locking it and taking the key.
