CCW and Trucking

If you have a CCW and drive a big rig can you legally carry a firearm with you? Friend of mine needs to know.

Handgunlaw.us has this to say .

# 13 Question: Can a commercial truck driver carry a firearm in his/her rig?
Answer: There is no federal law concerning commercial truck drivers and firearms. If
you have the proper Permits/License and can legally carry in the state you are driving in or
that state allows the carrying of firearms without a permit you are legal.

to read letter from Office of Hazardous Materials Standards that firearms do not fall under
hazardous materials in commercial vehicles.
I have talked to many truck drivers about this and I have not heard of one trucking company
that allows their drivers to carry a firearm while working.
