Alcohol rules

Good one, did that a few time's myself, in my wild and crazy day's, though.

 

That's all good until you bring home the gift that keeps giving.

 

well the bottom line is weather or not ur wanting to make things hard for yourself.

most companies policy's are no alcohol in the truck, and u cannot have any amount in your system. some even go so far as to say u cannot even drink 24 hrs before u get in the truck.
u can argue that all u want but all it takes is 1 phone call to ur companie from someone that seen u buy beer and get into ur truck and guess what ??
that companie can and will fire u and they have all the right to put on ur dac report u violiated the companys policy of drinking achol beverages.

as hard as u worked to get Ur cdl and as much money u have spent going into this career.( paying Ur dues and working up in seniority) y would u even think about putting all that in jeopardy ???
