Can I Have A Beer?

So long as the truck stays parked go for it.

 

The rule states no alcohol IN THE VEHICLE....motel(?), bottoms up dude! Remember 8 hours before scheduled shift no consumption.....oh yeah...have a couple greasy burgers to help absorb the alcohol.

 

I wouldn't touch this one with a ten foot pole.

 

Only if the us Marshalls don't catch you.

 

You're good... as long as no one videos it

And it's four hours, not eight...

§382.207 Pre-duty use.

No driver shall perform safety-sensitive functions within four hours after using alcohol. No employer having actual knowledge that a driver has used alcohol within four hours shall permit a driver to perform or continue to perform safety-sensitive functions.

​

It is eight hours post-accident (or until tested)...

§382.209 Use following an accident.

No driver required to take a post-accident alcohol test under §382.303 shall use alcohol for eight hours following the accident, or until he/she undergoes a post-accident alcohol test, whichever occurs first.

I demand a video of how you pass time as a trucker.

 

I'm old....it takes longer to heal!

or

Really occipher....it was an accident that I had that brew!

 

You only have to wait 4 hours if you stop drinking.

Just pound em back your whole break, no sleep or sobriety, it's called taking a wet 10 guys...
