The law is 4 hours from bottle to throttle. However, a BAC between .02% and .04% will get you put OOS for 24 hours (and likely out of a job as well).

I heard there was a trucker planning to have a beer with his supper and maybe even one more afterwards in Arkansas tonight. CLEAR OUT, HEAD FOR CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK !! LMAO

I caught the sarcasm, but to be honest, I'd be 1000% more worried about the other patrons who will be leaving and driving their 4-wheelers than the schmuck who strolled over from the truck stop.
Puppage Thanks this. -
Several years ago coming from California after entering Arizonian at Blyth, back them you had to pull over, go in show them your paperwork, the go back to your truck, & of course if they were weighting them cross the scales.
On one trip I had parked & was walking up the the weight station to show them my paperwork, & a cab over truck with the little window on the bottom of passenger door was easing along, & I saw one beer can with that plastic thing that holds 6 of the together laying right there at that little window.
My thought, there goes a stupid truck driver, stupid in more ways than one. Some people seem to beg for trouble!NavigatorWife Thanks this. -

The bigger problem I have is I've never seen a good beer sold at a truck stop...
Pmracing, sherlock510 and AZS Thank this. -
I was teamed with a guy who, given enough time, would cause a saint to pull out a gun and start shooting. Now and then I wanted to enjoy a beer when we were laid over. I'd take it in the bathroom, pour it in a Big Gulp cup, and then head to the truck.That way, I could sit in the driver's seat and enjoy my beer while reading a book or watching the antics in the truck stop. I didn't have to worry about anybody seeing me tip a can through the window.
Flame throw me, burn me at the stake... whatever! I'm human, and it was better than chocking the life out of the co-driver! -
MJ1657 and dannythetrucker Thank this.
