Motorist attempts to stop my truck, Law Enforcement blows me off.

Thanks for that legwork and info, Rio.

Screw the company!

You have hazmat, you know what I mean. Click, ping, or click... WOOSH... BOOM.

I must be a bad cop. The amount the state, county, or whoever is going to make off of my ticket, arrest or response never even crosses my mind.

me too, guess we are the only two that are working out there, glad to meet you! I guess you and I are making all the crime go down, we should get all the money for our hard work!

I have hazmat. I've never been "trained in Cargo Securment". WTF are you smokin?

It is the responsibility of your employer to administer this training. Ask the scale house officer or call the TSA Department of Homeland Security. Is it not a policy that if you stop for lunch you must be in attendance of your placard vehicle. In plain sight or parked in a safe haven.

He would not even need to lock up a long gun,assuming he is not near schools. He could just have a shotgun next to him with shells on the side or have some sort of center fire rifle with loaded mags right next to the gun, just incase something happens.

Until he loses his job over this.

Are you carrying anything that might conceivably be of use to a terrorist? Chemicals, uniforms, fuel, anything like that? If so, make sure to mention the potential terrorist threat aspects to the dispatcher, or you could even call an FBI or DHS dispatcher directly. They have emergency numbers separate from 911. They're taking transportation security very seriously these days, with the new ID program and so on.

That new ID program is a joke, I already had a background check done when I got my MMD from the USCG and I had to get another one done for the new TWIC card. The background check and requirements to get a TWIC card are much lower fyi. Not to mention that most ports don't even have the card readers yet and you don't even need to prove a reason for getting the TWIC, anyone can walk in and apply for one.
