    While ON-DUTY. It does not say you can't have a beer in your truck while off duty. I don't drink but once in a blue moon anymore. I rather be driving down the road then wasting money on beer. but that is just me. But lets not misinform people out here.

    You are right, thats why I didn't insult you. I don't want to get banned too.


    The FMCSA rule states ON DUTY, not off duty which is the topic of this thread.

    I am not arguing that its a wise idea to not use alcohol.
    Just sayin that its not a FMCSA or DOT law.

    That is a fine line that many a trucker has shouted out to the arresting officer and he replies tell it to the judge.That kind of a misperception of the law on the arresting officer's behalf can put a O.o_Out of business before it is all settled.

    the day they give me a trailer full of good beer like Guinness is the day I quit driving and my load goes mia. I have had lots of trailers of piss water (coors and bud lite) but no good dark beers. If i drink pee water it will be high life the champagne of beers. I have yet to drink a beer while even near the truck. Even had a trainer tempt me while we were eating at a mexican place. He was like you have 0 on your 14 you are about to take your 10 hour brake won't hurt you to drink a beer with your food. I was like I know just not a big beer drinker these days. Even though I still walk around wearing a Miller High Life belt buckle from when I used to be a big drinker. Not a good idea to have beer any where near the truck. but it is not against the laws or rules.
