Beer In Sleeper 392.5a

Yer not making any sense to me.
I suspect the person with whom you want to argue exists only in your mind.

 

Get involved in a fatal accident and see what happens.

Say you're just sitting someplace taking your 10 hours off and some car comes in and plows into your truck, spills your beer all over and the cops show up, guess how bad you're going to be screwed.

When you're living space has a DOT number on the door, it's a threat to everyone.

I'm guessing all these companies that didn't tell you not to have alcohol in your truck, are probably a bunch of fly-by-night companies anyway, they're just glad to have a monkey behind the wheel...

I remember one Sunday afternoon a long time ago at a TX truckstop.....

It was one heck of a barbecue, show & shine and drunk. But When it was over everything (liquid leftovers included) went into the dumpster ...

 

Had a load of cotton out of Brownsville TX.....they said they knew drugs were in the truck...
They never sealed those loads back then...
These cops were hard core in those days...they pulled everything out of my sleeper too.
Even tore my pack of smokes open looking for a joint!

 

With your past record, YES, next caller.

 

The reason I only drink at home once in awhile.....not a big beer fan anyway.
I like clear stuff in a mason jar! Made right here in the NC mountains....

 

We had a oo that got inspected in PA. He opened side box to show cop triangles. Cop saw 6pack beer wrote him dui. Driver was fired and had to sale truck
