Another question- If you do carry a gun, and are arrested for having the gun, and do not have a CCW- concealed weapon permit- What is the legal charge of this one thing- not having a permit?

It's a federal crime.

Most likely not a federal offense, unless you are caught on federal property...The most likely circumstance is being charged under a State or Local law/ordinance in which you are at the time of the discovery of the crime. Penalties under MOST State laws for carrying in violation of their CCW law is usually a felony. There remain some local ordinances in some places with lesser penalties...so the answer is, it matters where you are.

Interesting and important points here...I am new to trucking, and want to avoid the bad food choices as well. Since I am routinely at a grocery store in my travels, popping in to pick up some fresh fruit/ nuts or veggies are all part of my plan. I tend to stay away from meat, so beans and other non-meat protein are a requirement.

I find that lack of time for regular meals and shorter sleep periods have started to be a BIG part of my new lifestyle on the road...I need to include exercise in my daily routine, along the lines of your pattern, Charles (not as rigorous, though).

I am 57, and in pretty good shape. I want to keep getting better, not slide into disrepair due to my new work!
