Other truck drivers are buying beer, should I report them?

Confiscate the evidence and I will pick it up and turn it over to the the proper authorities.

 

I would definitely call. Beer makes you fat. We have enough overweight people out here already. Something needs to be done

 

You should mind your own business is what you should do.

 

Actually wrote something in those lines before.

 

having it in the truck while driving is; "transporting alcoholic bev without a permit". got that from a DOT guy.having in cab while parked is not illegal.
it may be against some companies policies. that's another matter.

 

It's actually a little more specific than that. The wording is "On duty or operating a cmv" while in possession.
If you are parked on duty you cannot have it in the truck. Same as if you are off duty driving (pc) you can have a beer in the cab.

 

so its not illegal to have in the cab and ive been wasting my money on motels to feed my "disease"? lol

 

i would think that if dot came up to inspect you then you would be on duty with beer in the cab, just assuming how they could twist it, i thought it was illegal in a commercial vehicle but was never too sure, i dont like to ask because then i become the forum alchoholic lol

 

The DOT is not a serious threat to a driver that uses alcohol in a responsible manner! A driver is in much more danger of having another driver narcing them out with their safety dept. Everybody has a camera today. If you drive for a large carrier and don't think another driver won't drop a dime on you, well your being a bit of a fool!
