English term or phrase: lockable cab and cargo hold

This appears in an Appendix to a Trucking Transportation Vendor Services Agreement. The complete sentence is: "Soft sided / curtain sided trucks may be used in Europe provided that truck and trailers must have lockable cab & cargo hold". What does "lockable cab and cargo hold" mean in this context? Thanks in advance.
