Every trucker I’ve known can’t carry a firearm in their truck. Even if you own your own rig, you drive for corporations and the like, cannot have a firearm. It’s an agreement they sign. I always ask them, “but really though, just me and you, you still hide one somewhere for safety right”….”nope”. Seriously?! I’m sorry, if I drove a rig, especially “over the road” guys(long haulers)…I would have a firearm. Period.
I don’t know anything about federal, they just always tell me stuff like “company policy”, or “company regulations” and the like. If it’s a federal law that would make sense. Still tho. If I had to hide one behind the radio I would have something.
As long as you are an owner operator or your company allows it you can have a firearm in a CDL vehicle. I’m from Il and if any state would find a way to infringe on 2A rights it’s here. I’ve taught CDL and am also a truck owner. Our company attorney has verified there is no federal motor carrier statute that addresses this.

I'm a cdl class b as far as I know federal regulations says u can't carry. Have to check into it. Been a long time since I got my license
I've had a Class A CDL for almost 40 years, I do not remember that verbiage when I got my license or when I had to renew.
But, it has been at least 20 years since I have had to retake the written.
Ever since I dropped my Hazmat endorsement I have not had to retake the written every time my license comes up for renewal.

They are correct, they need to boycott, Minnesota. The politicians who swore to uphold the Constitution and are not need to be arrested.
They should be allowed to protect themselves in their home away from home.

I'm trying to figure out how truckers can have boating accidents.
Have you seen how long some of those bridges are over various water ways?
Seems like it would be pretty easy to have your bag with your firearm fall out of the window and just sink to the bottom.
