Carry w/a permit in a commercial tractor trailer
I have a buddy, who just signed up BTW , who is a long haul trucker. He has a Fl. Res permit and asked me if there would be a problem carrying in his truck, even with his permit. I thought he would be covered by the FOPA, thinking about it, we both thought that there may be some sort of restriction on commercial drivers that we don't know about. I have done a little looking and could not come up with anything. Anyone have any definite answers? Your help, as always, would be greatly appreciated...

Re: Carry w/a permit in a commercial tractor trailer
I searched the FMCSR and did not find a regulation that prohibits it. I remember in truck driving school, the instructors said it was against regs, but could not cite which one.
I might be against the company policy. If they are against it and find out that he is carring he could lose his job.
But as long as he follows the laws of the states he operates in, there really should not be a problem unless he enters one of the communists states.

He has to meet the requirements of each state. Say he`s delivering in NJ. He`s not going to and from a range, repair or residence and he`not passing through. Bam There is no federal law but each state applies.
If his company has a policy or any consignee or shipper has a policy(and most do) they apply. Part of the agreement of entering the private property of shippers and receivers is allowing a search and/or vehicle search.
Unless he owns his own truck he has to ask himself is it worth it.

Re: Carry w/a permit in a commercial tractor trailer
i had this question also a few months ago, there is nothing in the books saying you cant, state laws will apply.. but like some others here have said before,,, i'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!!
