    well when you break federal regulations what do think is going to happen...If you buy a 6pack and only drink 4 you THROW the other 2 in the trash before leaving....2 beers is not worth your job...but I guess you now know that the hard way...oh BTW it took 10 years for a friend of mine to get a trucking job again after a dui. Best of luck to you.

    You are not supposed to have alcohol in a cmv period not just going to a naval base etc. When i was otr i didn't drink at all not even at a bar killing time, there's just too much to risk.

    Not likly, Most companies won't touch you for atlest 5 yrs. Most of them want aleast 1 yrs OTR in the last 3. So you can bet that you trucking carrie is done.

    I guess i am an exception to the rule everyone tosses around here..
    I must be the chosen one..lol
    My rap sheet is long and i am still here today...
    :confused1:hmmmmmmmmmmm why is that?

    Do ya think that maybe,just maybe the things you here at truck stops and on the C.B. are wrong...???????????:biggrin_25510:

    I can't spill the beans but the rap sheet dates all the way back to 1982.
    I work for Landstar as of know..hmmmmmmmmmmm how is that possible?

    Do ya think there could be a little ''hear say'' going on with ''drivers''.???

    Good luck to you and keep your chin up.You will find a job in trucking..

    Yeah , one of our drivers had a DUI a couple of years ago . They let him dispatch while his license was suspended .

    Legally, you can't even drink in your truck when it is parked if you have the keys in your possesion.
