Alcohol

I have always thought drivers should be able to consume alcohol reasonably when they aren't going to be driving. The unfortunate reality is that it will take only one dimwit who got his CDL by the grace of God to be the one who drinks an unreasonable amount of alcohol, and kills multiple people in a totally preventable crash had he not had been above the BAC. And that's when the smart companies will do everything they can to keep you from a can of beer.

 

I need to see some easy read citable sources to back that up.

 

I had a superviser in the past that on occassion would take us out for beers at lunch time.

 

I think it depends on the company. On home time that's my time, I will do as I please though I have a rule about not drinking 24 hours before leaving the house on a dispatch. Just personal rule. I usually go get three or four 24-packs of bud light the day I get home. Then leave out of the house after 4-5 days of home time. Though I still don't drink before leaving on dispatch.

Yes it's a store. The majority of the customers are truck drivers. The majority of people buying beer are truck drivers going back to their rig with a 6 pack in hand. You can't deny that.

 

They say alcohol and tobacco are the two majorly abused "legal" drugs. I say it's BS.

No I could deny it seeing as tons of 4 wheelers go into 'truck stops' as well but I won't since it looks like it will be an exercise in futility.
