Kids in trucks

I was sick and tired of garbage, same as dad. He decided to Van-Pak (Currently Hirschbach), always make runs to indiana and back to MA. We first drove the 04 penske columbia then into 05 Freightliner Columbia with detroit 490 hp. I was only 10 years when he decided to pull reefer trailers. A year after that, he quited because we bought a burned 2000 century with detroit 12.7 no-egr 500 hp. We customized the interior and make runs from york, pa to rockford, il hauling gums.

 

My Kids are 5,6,and 7 I am wanting to take them and their mom with me. What do I really need to do? it is ok with my boss my 5 year old is in a car seat my 6 yo is in a booster and 7 yo doesnt need anything. So where do I find the laws about kids in trucks?

 

Just a suggestion, take them for a week, one at a time. It will be better experience for you and them.

 

Sure you'll find answers to your questions.But out of curiousity do u think your children will like to be in the trk all day?

 

Every one i ever took loved it and beg all year to go back

 

I'm glad this came up...I have been wanting to ask this question with summer coming up.

 

Well I was riding with my granddad in the 70s when I was barely 5 but back then we also rode around in the backs of station wagons without seat belts and it's a wonder we survived to adulthood!

 

If i was married, i would take my wife and kids often for a family ride around pa if i load to haul on saturdays.

 

There are 2 factors; 1. what your company, and/or their insurance company will allow, and may include having a written passenger authorization form completed. 2. What a LEO thinks with regard to seat belts and/or car seats. Your truck is NOT an RV, but even they must have seat belts for all the passengers.

 

Not talking about the biggest company such as swift or cr england.
