Where are you

Lol..funny thing is..I have an extra key...but that too was inside the cab. It's not now..I fixed that this morning.

 

One is always in pocket one is with me and one stays in the truck ignition

 

Don't lock the truck and you won't have to worry about it.

 

Find a place to hide your key in the engine compartment. I have a tinny little box with a magnet where I put my car keys in an hide that under my vehicle. And I put the truck key in a string around my neck. Use that as a soldier from the time I wake up till I go to bed... and take it off for shower too.
After locking myself twice outside the truck I learned my lesson. And one of those times, I was bobtailling in Long Beach, CA, running errands, window shopping, etc. (without company knowing much less company's permission...) Had to use a store phone and called AAA (which I am a member of) to open truck's door. It was the first time the guy opened a big truck's door.... I learned my lesson since then.

 

Somewhere in Kansas!!!

 

I used to leave a key in the truck ignition, but after watching how thieves can open truck door so quickly, now I take that key with me every time I leave truck... even if it's for a few mins. I'm in the extended stay hotel, Chattanooga, Tn enjoying the last days of my "hometime". Will p/up load on Tuesday 2:30 hrs far from here, then go to Wisconsin, then p/up another load 2:30 hrs from consignee and deliver in OH.

 

Well bless your heart

 

Response to Les "Don't lock it."

I tried that. I still got locked out. AJ saw another dog, got all excited and stepped on the button. Luckily, I was at an apple warehouse full of felons. It was just a matter of finding the right one. 30 seconds and he had my door open without a scratch. It was impressive.

 

You a driver down-under? If so do you have hours of service restrictions?

 

Ah, Troutville. The smallest Pilot in the world. I think it used to be a 50's drive-in diner. What a circus. Funny, there are more open parking spots there than across the street at the TA.
