Thank you and yes, I have a copy of the report. It has been suggested here that below 0.02 is outside the margin of error and should not be counted - I'm looking into that.
But a lawyer? I don't know - maybe in time if I can get it off my record but I don't think I can afford the expense or the time right now - got bills. Just need a job asap

I agree it was a small amount but you know how companies are,they make a huge deal out of everything.I'm thinken someone that knows that restraurant and maybe inside when you was tipped your company off that you was drinken.
Lucar and "semi" retired Thank this. -
Yep look at your copy of the FMCSR, Sub Section 382.121 thru 382.211
now remember, your company may have a policy that is more restrictive, but I doubt that with your admission of the fact being you did consume alcohol, that you have much of a leg to stand on in this case. Sorry Man, but this is the world we live in and posting in open forum on the web about how you used any alcohol at all, is probably not helping you any. -

had to havea drink,,regs state no alcohol 4 or so hours before you go on duty,,well you can drink your butt off 10 hours before and still have a too much in your system
you srewed up,,pay the price,,next time you will know better,,when on the road,,or if you know you are going to drive in the next day or so
DON"T GO DRINKING,,,WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT DRINKING OR YOUR JOB,,YOU SCREWED UP.. -

if you live in IOWA there is always the White Volvo crowd in Chicago
they are looking for people who speak english everyday
biggest singlr problem is they are 1099 jobs
but if you were with CRE you already know how to handle crap -
My problem is talking to recruiters - lying about it feels like the wrong move since they eventually may find out; I don't know the odds so I just default to 'full-disclosure. -
