If it's going in a truck, or even in the back of a van or a car, it rides in a Calton, which could be dropped out of an airplane. In the gig bag, it never gets placed where it could be sat on. It only rides in passenger front seat with me. I've got to say that the Starfire is a pretty sturdy bass and I've gigged this bass pretty hard since 2007 without any mishaps. Knock on wood.
It sounds like your bass is babied and loved!
