Road Personal Defense Suggestions For Truckers

By Stefen C Trudeau


It had been past 3 in the morning the minute I left my rig between 2 other trucks at Danny's Diner. Six hours straight behind the wheel left me hungry and I looked forward to eating some bacon and a chili omelet.

I stepped backward from the truck while getting something on the cab floor. I observed motion at my rear from the corner of my right eye. I turned to see just as this big side of beef grabbed me. The bad guy most likely believed that a female one foot smaller as well as a 100 pounds lighter when compared with him was easy pickings. However he didn't realize exactly what I was keeping. I stumbled backward however I got to swing my wooded cedar tire thumper high and bring this down hard on his head, dropping him.

I went inside Danny's and shared with the men what happened. And then I called 911.

I had just wished to check my tire pressure just before getting some breakfast. That was exactly why I had reached for the 19.5 inch small bat the instant I got down out of the truck. It was a great thing I did, or else.

It appears similar to a baseball bat, only smaller, with a grooved handle and also leather strap for a stable grasp. It is manufactured from cedar, having a solid steel center rod perfect for knocking out hard heads that just can't keep their hands to themselves. But this is not seriously intended for that.

I never imagined I would use it as a personal protection weapon. This is really designed for thumping the wheels of big vehicles.

You thump tires with it to be able to check out their own pressure. It's got the perfect rebound so you can approximate if the tires are inflated the right way. It doesn't substitute a tire gauge but it is very much faster.

I used to ponder if I should carry just a normal tire gauge. However after what went down at Danny's, my very own wood tire thumper stays within my vehicle. It really is useful, in any case.
