I May Need To Secure A Bike In/On 18 Wheeler Tractor Trailer... How?

[Crevice]

Although I loathe the idea, I may have to start a new job driving an 18 wheeler/tractor trailer again. Gotta do what ya gotta do. I never took a bike before (10 years OTR experience).

I have my new bike that, if this is what I have to do, I would like to take with me. I'm not for certain on which company yet (in USA) so I don't know if they will offer to remover the passenger seat to give me more room. This has been offered in the past but some do not offer this.

Looking for suggestions on ways to mount and secure a bike on a big rig. Preferable inside to avoid weather and possible theft.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

@PeteXXX don't you drive artics? Any suggestions?

I've seen bikes strapped to the back of the cab before now but the artics I drive, usually with front mounted fridges on the trailer, would leave no space for one.
In the cab, a folder would be a good idea but you have a Road bike by the looks of it.

How about a bike bag? Take the wheels of and it should fit in the passenger side with a seat belt around it to safely secure it in case of any incident.
