It would violate the law if he must go into the secure area of a oil refinery or where ever it is he must do as part of his job. You cannot even leave it in the vehicle in those places.

I noticed you didn't say what law. Do you mind telling us so we can read it?

Just in case, let me say the parking lot law didn't make it illegal. It also only changed the employee relationship and a visitor or vendor is not an employee there.

Now, to think out of the box a little, or maybe it's just wishful thinking. Two things, aren't places like this supposed to have a separate parking lot where folks that carry can park with their guns in their vehicles? Or what do you think would be the probability of having his boss request that the locations he goes to somehow be able to hold his gun for him while he's inside and then return it to him when he leaves?

I thought about that, but I assumed that whatever Phoenix6410 was hauling had to be delivered inside the plant.

Your assumption is correct, I must deliver (or pick up) inside the plant in the company truck. I have thought about asking the security guards about holding a firearm while I am in the facility, but figure that will cause more problems than anything.
