Omg, Locked My Keys In My Truck Again

Some truck stops sell kits to unlock doors, like a thin metal strip to shove down the window. Or maybe someone else there has something.

Yeah... and then the next time, the kit is locked inside the truck lol

That was very expensive lesson for me to learn. $160 to be exact. That's what I paid the locksmith to pick my lock in 5 seconds. That'll teach me for being to lazy to hang one by my DEF tank with a zip tie like Rainy told me to do 1000 times. Now I have keys everywhere.

Well... Rainy locked herself out of the 2017 International on a Sunday in PA....$250 and the guy drove up in a Mercedes SUV. Made me think about changing careers. So after hammering into your head, I still screwed up.

My first day on the road after my surgery and a lockout and I exploded the fore extinguisher while driving. My FM said, "Wow, You are rusty!" thanks dispatch. real help you are lol

My last student and I got trucks at the same time and I walked him into the parts shop.and we both got spares to tie so we didnt screw up lol

You just can't make this ish up!!

That and I left my wallet in the truck, I usually grab my keys and wallet before getting out when I'm in bed. But this time I had to rush to the restroom and we seen how that went.

I am thankful to the tow truck driver who so happened to be at the truck stop, as it would have been a few more hours before I got back into my truck. He was really surprised on how much I paid him after I got my wallet and went to the ATM, he asked if o was sure and thanked me.

But the point is that it's cheaper than paying a locksmith to come, even if you throw the kit away when you're done. But I'd keep it in case someone else needed it some day.

I think Piano Man holds the record on TT for locking his keys in the truck. Probably close to a dozen times. At least those are the ones he admitted to. I also believe he bought SEVERAL of those lock out kits. He became quite proficient with the "slim jim". Last I heard he was delivering furniture in Colorado for a living, or.......stealing cars. I can't remember which!

We love you Paul. Please come and defend yourself!!!

Don't get too comfortable Rainy. You know we are always ready to pounce!

GREETINGS ALL KEY CHALLENGED OPERATORS,

So I was at a T.A. in Cleveland, Ohio one time and "locked keys in Truck". Was told by someone to check with Shop. Checked with shop and they said "Call the Local Police Department, here's the number, as they're always out here unlocking Trucks and they charge ZERO!!" Officer arrived within 20 minutes, had me sign a Waiver against "any damages", got his kit and popped door open in under a minute.

Locked self out somewhere else, called local Police, same type "waiver", unlocked and into Truck.

I drove a 1999 Freight-shaker that could be unlocked with just about ANY Key and 1 pick up location unlocked the truck with a 50's Chevy Truck Key.

Finally had another Key made and kept it on me personal conveyance ring along with King Pin Key and Trailer Lock Key Ring with medium Key Clip. - - - - ONCE I took a trip for a different company (through a Truck Driver Service in '08 or '09) and on return trip inadvertently Locked the Door (with a removable Arm rest) as I was exiting Vehicle at a rest stop. Engine remained running as outside temp wasn't over 35 F with Wind Chill. Luckily Window was down 2 - 3 inches so I was able to utilize a small Tree Limb to open Passenger window (window switches were in middle of cab near shift stick). - - - - Cornbinders (International Pro Sleeper and other Models[?]) with the small lower "spot window" on Passenger Door gave the option of entering Truck by uninstalling small Window. Might have not been designed for such "assistance" yet it was useful and went back together with a little more effort. Wife did such once at a company where we were Solo Drivers. Came to find out that the Company used Cornbinders that were keyed alike however Women Drivers could have their Door Locks key differently. Male Drivers weren't offered the same option. - - - - - - - - - - - - - I've locked myself out of my personal conveyance, yet had me Fone, ONCE this year and since Trunk and Hood open from INSIDE, other option was calling wife, luckily I wasn't 30+ miles away. Now, Every Time exiting Vehicle, or ANY Vehicle, I check at minimum 3 times, that I have Ignition Key IN HAND before closing Door.

Hopefully something in this Post can Help Someone!! CHEERS!!

One stays around my neck, the other in the ignition, and a hidden spare
