    Had two guys in a Mercedes driving 95 mph yesterday. Get him stopped, smell the odor of alcohol. Oh yeah, it was lunch time, but I guess it was 5 o'clock somewhere. Driver's 2nd DUI, blew a .15. He had the gall to tell me I ruined his life. Had to get a mirror for him to look at the person that ruined his life.

    Today, I'm not sure what the heck is going on, stop a truck and again strong smell of alcohol. Four opened beers, four unopened beers and thankfully he wasn't high enough to be given a DUI. Second trucker in a week drinking while driving.

    I thought the vaunted CDL circa 1985 or is it the new CSA 2010 that will "fix" all of this.

    All the "fix" is, is a another way to grab you...turn you upside down, and shake you until your last penny rolls out of your pocket...

    gotta wonder who hires people like that...another reason they had to come up with that csa stuff, hopefully itll get rid of the ###### drivers, this industry's images has gone in the toilet since i started driving.

    DB, this is sad. Obviously they are making money with that truck. So why not keep the truck safe?

    did he have fake IFTA stickers? cracked winshield?

    I thought .04 was a DUI when driving a CMV??? How did the guy have 4 open beers and still blow under .04? Did he weigh 500 lbs?
