i don’t where my boots inside the cab, they stay on the step
I’ve got nothing to hide but there’s no way any security person is getting in my cab on my clean carpets with his boots on,It’s tough if they don’t like it, report me, sack me do what ever but your not getting in with your boots on.
Drivers are turning into pansies. Trucks are a working tool, not a stately home. Whenever I drove someone elses’ wagon, I never took my boots off even if they did.

It’s a tramper’s thing mate, who wants to drive live and sleep in a ■■■■ hole, … 
although some do.

To all you “I’d slap the guards” heroes, please try it at RAF Croughton. Bet you’re not so flouncy when a yank is opening your cab doors and bonnet, armed with a rifle.
Lots of very hard keyboard warriors on here, what they would do is take the rifle and shove it up the guards arse. Thats what they say they did anyway when confronted. In reality the guard barked at them and their arse prolapsed and had to sit in a stinking mess all the way home. And you;ll most likely find the ‘hardest’ drivers are also the most fat and unfit ones…
How come most have a problem with being suspected of being a thief, so would protest about it, but had no problem with being accused of being an unprofessional ■■■■ head on the other thread.
Same thing, same principle in my opinion.

If it’s within the company then I don’t bother. Had a “cab search” at a shop once, he climbed up the steps said thank you and climbed back down, didn’t even look.This is all they ever do . Not worth getting het up about . There is usually a sign on the way in saying they may do this. by entering you agree to this next time tell them on the way in that you don’t want to be searched and see how long you keep your job after you have been turned away for something so simple
The fact is they can’t turn away everyone - nor is there any real consent or “agreement”, if the implicit threat is to turn you away or terminate your employment if you don’t agree.
They don’t need to turn every one away Most people don’t see it as a problem . At the end of the day he is just standing on the top step pretending for the cameras he is having a look just covering asses
ahh I mind the not so good auld days running round eire and ulster many many time I had a big dog sniffing about the cab (fold down bunk) AND the day a bloody german sheppard ■■■■ its brains out on the bunk o my running buddies motor…unfortunately for him it was the start o the week and the hight o summer…ohh how we laughed. 
.well I did anyway.

I was thinking along those lines … none of these have obviously done a delivery to the Royal Mint or to a prison. You certainly don’t argue at those places.
I used to drive dustcarts and we would collect at fawley refinery and Bournemouth airport fawley would go around with mirror on a long stick to look underneath the motor and ask to look in cab I had no problem with that as they didn’t even have to leave the ground (low cab) and it was the same at the airport apart from having to walk through the metal detector machine. But neither place wanted me to open up the back end to check the load could never understand that

Done Raf Croughton and Fairford (both USAF) and they’ll do the full search, armed. The Americans are always very polite too.
Done Aylesbury YOI and they even take your maps, although by the look of the inmates there they probably can’t read the alphabet let alone an OS map.
Military and prisons you expect it same with bonded stores. Standard supermarket deliveries. Factories. They can take a jump I used to sign in to Tesco and put signed under duress underneath it drove the security idiots crazy

Nothing to do with turning into pansies.
Try living in the truck 5/6 or more days a week,
I bet you dont go home and walk round your house in your oily muddy boots or perhaps you do and your happy living in a filthy ■■■■ hole,
thats your choice and I’m happy for YOU to live like that but some of us who have to live in our trucks all week choose not to live like pigs.
Living in my place of work doesn’t appeal to me although I liked one or two nights out a week. Even then I never took my boots off, I’d often stand up on the engine hump to get a drink out of the lockers or to find a map. I shocked some drivers in the yard but tbh I didn’t give a monkeys. No boots on the bunk but anywhere else was fair game. I was one of the only ones who let drivers mates put their feet on the dash en route. No big deal.

Can`t see what the problem is if you having nothing to hide.
I’m surprised it took soooo long.(Ref…my last post on this thread.

Your not the only one waiting for it [emoji6]
Im amazed by some of you, comparing supermarket distribution centre delivery with one in prison or military base. Are you so dull to even think about comparing this places 
Had to collect a forklift from a company once, had the warehouse manager with me for the entire time I was in there and was never out of site of the security guard. Jumped up little so and so still wanted to check me though. Even the manager asked him if he was taking the ■■■■.

I think you’re missing the point. I said rdc’s were like prisons with my tongue firmly in cheek (personally I don’t mind them as we only do Morrisons, and they let us sit in the cab still). And the point myself and others have tried to make is that government buildings and bodies are within their rights to carry out an in cab search, as its within the remit of national security. But if some jumped up tool from Big Chris Security Inc thinks he has the right to give me the same treatment at Asda Dartford, then I’m afraid he’s in for a disappointment

Good one Dolph
FWIW - Prisons, MOD base/office fine come in have mooch around all you need to. RDC - nope ■■■■ off, by all means look in the back doors, but don’t bother trying to come up into the cab…
I remember going to the Woolwich Arsenal in the fifties with me old dad. He had to hand in his ■■■■ and lighter and have the cab searched on the way in and out. I’d love to have seen what would have happened if there’d been rdc’s in those days and they wanted to get in the cab. As has been said; places like that yes, but jobsworth jim at Tesco etc is getting too big for his boots when he wants to get in the cab. I honestly don’t know what I’d have done if I found meself in that situation… depends on the mood at the time I s’pose.

totally different - people performing searches for security reasons over fake police deciding its within their powers to just walk into you cab car whatever. to be honest every base I have ever delivered too the guards are polite and courteous regarding searches etc. at RDC’s most the security guards think they are the whole reason the site functions.

From what ive found, the more actual authority someone has, the politer they actually are when requesting stuff.
