So glad you brought up this important topic, Morningstar! We are a 2-woman team and are always looking ways we can be proactive in attending to our own security. Your comment about feeding the seatbelt through the door armrest is one that had never occurred to us. You can bet we’ll start that practice RIGHT NOW!

As economic times worsen, we are noticing an increase in the number of people who approach our truck to ‘talk’, beg, sell, etc., and we’re not exactly delighted with this increase. It also seems like more folks are taking the liberty of stepping right up on our step without even a “Request permission to come aboard, Ma’am” beforehand. Personally, I don’t want people that close if I don’t know them.

DD, security cameras are a great idea and we may just go and price out a system for our D-unit.

We always try to be aware of our surroundings, try to find parking spaces where we have a better chance of being safe, and have even been know to ‘lay on the horn’ when we see someone suspicious lurking around other trucks.

I am certain there is more we can do. We’ll be watching this thread closely ‘cause I’m sure more great ideas will float across.



Two Mother Truckers runnin’ down the road
in GiddyUp-Go with a pretty good load.
Her diesel whirrs and her chrome wheels whirl
GiddyUp-Go’s a pretty good girl
Better get along GiddyUp,
Can’t slow, GiddyUp.
Get along GiddyUp, GO!
