<p>[QUOTE="Crash935, post: 2567358, member: 10341"]Never carried and never needed to. Be aware of your surroundings when parked. Majority of the time you will be at a truck stop overnight. If out of the truck at night at the TS, walk in lit areas, dont walk between trucks, dont hang out in the lot and keep the doors locked. If you end up at a shipper overnight, park in a lit area visible from the road with the cab facing the road and keep the doors locked. If you think the area is to rough, get out of there.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Onlyhad one night where i was a little worried. Got into a older industrial area in the middle of the night but couldnt find the address. A local Leo came through on a B&E call and and found me sitting in the middle of the road trying to figure out where i was going. He led me to the receiver, informed me it isnt the best area and to give him my personal info and that he would check on me a few times during the night. Never had a problem and ended up going in at night several more times and usually had the local LEO roll thru and flash his lights right after i got there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
