    You offered to pay for some of the motel cost? Sheesh. I would've taken that offer in a New York minute. These two you kept on begs the question......do they have less than 5 years of experience? That incident don't even make any sense.

    I always got a motel when I was gonna drink on a 34. Every company I've been at it's against company policy to have on the truck unless it's in the trailer and you have a BOL. There is a difference between company policy and the law, but company policy will get ya fired just the same.

    Its still transporting. Needs to be in the trailer and you need a manifest for it.

    without a BOL showing it is freight, not allowed on the entire vehicle.

    Perhaps why they wrote the possession instead of open container
