    The headline should read Troopers pull over drunk worthless POS claiming to be a truck driver EIGHT times over the legal limit.

    What I really want to know is how in hades did he still have a CDL if he already had two previous DUI's?

    We are the focus of so much attention, far too much of it negative (based upon the actions of a few morons), and then we have tools like this out there reinforcing the public's already negative perception of the industry.. WTF??

    On what planet would anyone think driving an 80,000 lb weapon and drinking is an acceptable idea??

    In addition to having his CDL taken away, he should also have his regular license, to drive an ordinary car, along with a motorcycle, taken away for many years, possibly for life.

    This guy is TRULY & GENUINELY a danger on the road, regardless of what kind of a motor vehicle he drives.

    Somehow, somewhere, some way, the driver both SADLY & UNFORTUNATELY "fell through the cracks".

    I am grateful that troopers could get him stopped before he caused some real damage.
