Im a otr driver. I'm a army veteran. Machine guns and hand grenades did not transfer to this suck ### life so now im a trucker. Why cannot I carry guns and booze in my sleeper. I am not breaking any laws with either. If a nutcase is on the loose I have a gun. If I want to drink in my berth off duty well then what is the god #### harm in that? This doesnt make sense to me to be this regulated. Im never home but I kind of feel imprisoned. Who ever passed these laws and why? The truck is like my home and people with homes have guns and booze.
Why cant I have booze or guns in my sleeper berth?

The truck is almost like being a convicted felon taking away my rights just because Im a trucker. Does the government understand we live in these trucks and rarely go home?

There is no law that says you cannot have a firearm in a commercial vehicle. There is a law for alcohol though.

I thought they banned weapons from the barracks, they probably don't allow booze either.
Looks like the military prepared you for this job. -
Ive been told over and over again no firearm in the truck. Deleted

go figure that one.
It's a messed up planet with BS everywhere you go. that's life if you haven't figured it out yet lol -
Maybe the company you work for doesn't allow it, however that doesn't mean it's against the law. There is a discussion every week about this. There is nothing in the little green book concerning personal firearms. Traveling with your firearm in a truck is the same as traveling in a car.

Ok thanks for the info fortyglock.

The fine was 100 per can of beer and he shut me down for 24 hrs.
So if your going to drink in your sleeper, make ###### sure you drink it all! -
Thats just ######## man. You were sober when he did it too. Its just crazy to me that in theory you did nothing wrong but were fined hundreds of dollars. I dont get it I never will.
