Allow Firearm Carrying in the Trucking Industry
Many respondents mentioned that they would feel safer if they were allowed to carry a firearm.
However, policies of many trucking companies, shippers, and receivers do not allow truckers to
carry firearms in their trucks. Also, State laws on carrying firearms significantly vary. Many
truckers suggested a regulation prohibiting carriers, receivers, and shippers from barring truckers
to carry legally owned firearms. Note: regulations related to carrying firearms is beyond the
purview of FMCSA’s regulatory authority.
