Within reasonable limits, sure. But what would be reasonable about inspecting a roofing contractors truck for firearms?
If I hire someone to put a new roof on my house, mow my lawn, etc., do I not have the right to tell him if he will not disarm, he is not welcome on my property, if that is my desire?
Sure you [as an individual] do, but why is that your desire? -- Aren't you aware that it is a Constitutional 'desire', - a law of the land, - that our RKBA's be uninfringed? -- Why do you want to infringe on my right to have a gun in my private property [my truck]?
In doing so, I am not infringing on his rights.
Many state legislators & courts now disagree. --- The Georgia Supreme Court nailed the issue:
They said that your vehicle is an extension of your home, and anything you can legally possess in your home you can carry in your vehicle onto both public and private parking lots.
If the roofing contractor wants the job, and the customer's stated requirements include inspecting his vehicle for firearms, the contractor can decide not to bid on the job if he doesn't care to have his privacy invaded. Then, the customer can try to find a contractor who's willing to submit to the inspections. If the contract is already offered and accepted, and the customer springs this inspection idea on him out of the blue, now we're talking about contractual terms, whether they're written, oral, or reasonably assumed. That's for a court to decide, if either party wants to dig in his heels and take it that far.
By and large, where a business transaction is concerned, I believe it's reasonable and just for each party to set whatever policies he wants. The other is free to take it or leave it. In this particular case, if the company's money and policies aren't to your liking, and you think you can do better somewhere else, you're free to hawk your services and/or products down the road. Likewise, if the company doesn't care for your policy of carrying guns in your vehicle, the company has the right to give its business to someone else. Each of us has the freedom of choice, and choices have consequences.

That's not surprising. Commies, Socialists, Liberals and RINOs are all too happy to chip away at our private property rights, just as they have our Second Amendment rights. Meanwhile, some conservatives believe they've won a victory when it may very well be that the opposite is true. Maybe they've been conned and don't even know it. Maybe they were thrown a bone to pacify them for awhile.
I don't carry a gun in my vehicle but no one but a law enforcement officer with a search warrant is going to search the inside without my permision.
During the great Carter Administration gas shortages I read about a gas station on the Florida where the attendant would stick their heads inside a vehicle to check their gas gauges before selling them any gas. They were telling the reporter that people would smash or otherwise destroy thir gas gauges.
After reading the story, I told my wife, "The sob stuck his head in my window he would be pulling back a nub".
The same applies about looking inside my vehicle either for a gun or stick of gum.
