    The trooper was wrong when he said the limit is ".08" it's actually .04 for CDL holders. Now, what's the DOT number of the truck? This company needs to be put out of business. They hired this piece of S. Inexcusable!

    I thought it was no tolerance, as in .01 for commercial drivers.

    § 382.201
    Alcohol concentration.No driver shall report for duty or remain on duty requiring the performance of safety-sensitive functions while having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater. No employer having actual knowledge that a driver has an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater shall permit the driver to perform or continue to perform safety-sensitive functions.


    It's .04 but your employer probably requires "no tolerance" or less than .01 like my employer does.

    One DUI in a CMV should have their CDL revoked for life, end of story. And this guy should have been shot on site.

    Summary execution, should be the punishment for a lot of crimes. But it will never happen, thanks to the liberal judicial system in place now.

    You mean the one this country was partly founded on? Would you prefer the justice of King George?

    I think he was referring to the CANDY COATED VERSION we have today not the original we started out with :)

    this was supposed to be a response to Mister Gs post how the judicial system is liberal.

    You realize that our country has more people in jail than any developed nation in the world. Reality is not very liberal unless you are rich and or famous.
