Me too. Actually, my company policy demands it.My company allows it....but then I am the king of that company.
Its good to be king.
I am a truck driver and also have a CHL. Has there been a change in legislation to allow us to have our handgun with us. A fellow driver talked to a DPS officer the other day and he said we could. Anyone know about this?
Exceptions to what?The following are exemptions.
Cannot what? Carry a handgun with a CHL? Of course he can. This part of the LABOR code effects what a business can do, and does not prohibit the employee from doing anything nor does it give the employee any priviledge.For example if the vehicle you drive is owned or leased by a public or private employer and used by you in the course and scope of your employment you cannot.

What the law you quoted DID do is uphold the employers right to restrict, via company policy, an employee from carrying in an employer owned vehicle. It does not make it UNLAWFUL to carry in spite of that policy.
It helps everyone if you cite the code from which you quote laws.
OP: There seems to be some belief among commercial drivers that they cannot carry in their commercial vehicles under either state or federal law. Neither is true. No federal or Texas law prohibits commercial drivers from carrying inside of their motor vehicles or one under their control, or under a CHL.
