    police can go inside your cab anytime they want because you operate on a public highway it's a federal regulation even if you say no they will still trying to get in.

    Eventually they might win out.

    Refuse and then they get a warrant. Guess where you are sitting while they do it.

    drive your own vehicle doesn't mean you are not under federal law regulation, driving a cmv on a public highway is subject to search at anytime for any reason with or without warrant, the load is public and the highway is public.

    All they need is probable cause to go in and refusing a search gives them probable cause. It's not right but that's the way the pigs operate!

    As noted by HOT H2O If they have " PROBABLE CAUSE " they can search any vehicle without the operators approval or a warrant.
