Is it legal to carry a bottle of alcohol on the truck in a toolbox?

If you look at this guy's previous posts, he's not looking for answers; he's only looking to argue. Don't respond to him expecting anything other than that.

 

Why carry beer in or on the truck when 90% of truck stops sell beer at the truck stop? Don't wear your Prime, Inc hat, t-shirt, necklace. Walk in the door the gasoline buying customers use, pick your single beer or 2 from the beer cooler, pick up any other items, pay at the gasoline customer counter, put your items in a bag, and walk back to the truck. Drink your beer,s go to sleep. Put your empties in a truck stop trash can and start your day as long as you had more than 4 hours bottle to throttle and your BAC is below the legal limit for operating a CMV. Why complicate your life or rely on some unique understanding of the regs just to gave 24/access to beer?

 

Ok, I have to ask. What about rubbing alcohol? Hardcore Alcoholics have been known to drink it. Technicality maybe? I always have a couple bottles for air lines if needed.

 

A splash of Orange juice and 2 drops Tobasco make it more palatable

 

The average person is caught on security camera over 70 times a day in America so you should just assume in public that you are always being watched.

 

If you are that hard up for alcohol I don't think you are really going to be concerned about following the law. At some point stupid will catch up and solve the problem.

 

I’ve been told once in an orientation not to have mouthwash containing alcohol on the Truck. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a violation for it. Or rubbing alcohol. Seems unlikely to me. I often have some mouthwash also. Never worried about it.

 

That is a real bad thing. Isopropyl alcohol can kill a person.

 

I have a bottle of hand sanitizer that I bought during the early days of the pandemic that’s 80% grain alcohol with added hydrogen peroxide and glycerin. I use it on my armpits and privates once in a great while if I can’t make time to stop for a shower (it kills the germs that cause funk!).

Anyway, I just took it out and read all the labeling and there’s no mention of being denatured or poisonous, the only warning says that it’s for exterior use only. I guess I’ve been lucky not to get dinged for it! I’m going to be pouring it out shortly and putting the bottle in the next dumpster or trash can I see!

 

Company policy not law, I know a guy who got dinged for mouth wash. It might have been a union hit job. But I kinda understand. Been making sure for years to buy alcohol free mouth wash for house and truck. No chances.
