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. -
ut of business before it is all settled.

I'm not going to argue with that. -
Who's up for some tailgating?

I'll drink cheap axx lite beer long as its free.
But my hard earned money doesn't buy that stuff. -
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.
