Why cant I have booze or guns in my sleeper berth?

Many states honor other states laws with regards to carrying a firearm. Most companies do not allow it although it may not be illegal they will fire you. You agreed to those conditions when you signed their contract.

You can drink yourself into oblivion when at a truckstop or private parking. Just no full or empties when you leave. It's not against the law. You can't drink at a public or state place like a rest area.

 

perhaps the nutcase is the person thinks guns booze and trucking belong together
i get more scared thinking of the drivers that have guns then parking in Miami

 

I like those stores. One stop shopping. Everything a guy needs.

Guns, ammo, liquor, tobacco and fireworks

 

Yeah I had a CVSA guy get pissy a month or so back because I didn't want him in the truck, he climbed up the side and pulled his flashlight out just to make sure he couldn't short it without PC and gave my truck the best illegal inspection ever, lol.

 

Yup! There are tons of videos on YouTube showing your rights and how to act. A cop can't even walk up to you and ask for your license. He can but you don't have to give it to him. My friends are all cops at home so they tell me all the crap they pull. Cops can lie to you. You can't lie to a cop.

 

Probably not a good idea to threaten anyone. We have an entire section on firearms.

Perfectly legal when your parked at a truckstop or private property.

 

No, not even then. We just had this discussion yesterday.
