    Im saying if someone's just desperate. I agree best to keep it at home but really it doesn't take long to chug one in the shower. (.on 10hr break of course)

    I remember the days of a group of drivers grilling burgers and poppin' beers in the back lot of the truck stop on a weekend layover.

    many moons ago!

    I mean seriously guys, are you enslaved? Yeah, you drive for a living. I can remember a time when driving drunk was only a lark. But okay, it's not acceptable, there are a lot of people now who might cause trouble, drunk, on the road. That doesn't mean that DRINKING is not acceptable. Do you live in your truck? Is it your home? Then it's your home. Jesus Christ, the people who want to judge things are taking over society. Push back. I will drink in my ####ing HOME whenever I want to. If there's a law against it, I will violate it and skirt around it.

    Bad enough that we give up smoking weed for our job, yes?

    Giving the cops a speech from the Green Acres tv show about drinking beer doesn't keep you from losing your job & getting a ticket. The regulation is clear. Plenty of other jobs without this alcohol regulation.
