Heading east on I-80 at the Utah/Wyoming port they smelt alcohol and I got a ticket and put out of service for 24 hour for consuming alcohol within 4 hours before driving. PBT reading was .03 /not arrested.
My question is. Has anyone personally had this experience in Wyoming, if that makes a difference. And what was your experience and out come? What would you have done differently? (Besides not drink.) And if someone had some helpful advice on how to proceed so I don't get my license suspended or revoked, it would be appreciated.
I'm contacting a recommended lawyer in Utah on Monday for advice. Stopped here in Grand Jct. Colo. tonight but need to get some sleep now. I never used a forum before so I guess I can check the posts in the morning. Thanks for any and all help.
I have a question about an alcohol related ticket. .

Well no, but don't you think maybe not drinking that close to work time might be a good idea?
Brush your teeth in the morning might be a good thing as well -

Was it those two ladies working? I couldn't believe it when they told me why I have to come in every time. They are smelling for alcohol or slurred speech. She pointed out 3 trucks that were shut down for that. I was absolutely floored.

There was a driver a few years back that was hauling gasoline up I-15 north out of Las Vegas NV. They had called him into the scale house there on the north POE AZ and UT. When he went through the door they told him he had set off a detector for alcohol and put him out of service right there. The company had to go get the truck and with another driver had to make the delivery. The whole bad part about this was the season had just started for winter gasoline and the sensors had detected the ethanol coming off his clothes. The company got the driver cleared but had to take some time to do it. Everyone got warned about how messed up the POE was.

I went shooting right before I jumped On a plane out of Denver. They swabbed me with these cotton looking things and placed them into a machine. My clothes, hands and luggage and placed them into this machine. They then yanked me out of line and asked if I had any weapons or bombs. I laughed. They didn't. They then proceeded to search me and my belongings. These sensors do exist for drugs and gunpowder. Not sure for alcohol. Doubt it. Especially at a state ran chicken coop.
