Someone is in trouble

I got enough room on property to turn around. I know if a wheel left the property on Scotch time the same thing would happen

 

A guy I worked with had 2 trucks. He was out of town, and the trailer the other driver dropped needed moved or something. This guy had a partner who doesn't drive, so he called the other driver to move it. He was loaded and refused. The partner who doesn't drive threatened him, and the idiot moved the truck. While doing so, he crunched the tank against the curb.

What's wrong with saying "no"?

 

They should have just given him a DOT inspection and a Warning. The punishment is more severe. ..

 

No excuse ever for a vehicle to hit a public roadway while you are intoxicated. I have room on my land to move things around. Anyone drinking will be relegated to tool ##### and parts holder, they are not turning one wrench.

 

No they won't. Possessing a CDL makes no difference. The only difference is when the driver is operating a CMV.

53-3-418. Prohibited alcohol level for drivers -- Procedures, including hearing.

(1) A person who holds or is required to hold a CDL may not drive a commercial motor vehicle in this state if the person:

(a) has sufficient alcohol in the person's body that a subsequent chemical test shows that the person has a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .04 grams or greater at the time of the test after the alleged driving of the commercial motor vehicle;

(b) is under the influence of alcohol, any drug, or the combined influence of alcohol and any drug to degree that renders the person incapable of safely driving a commercial motor vehicle; or

(c) has a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .04 grams or greater at the time of driving the commercial motor vehicle.

The limit for a criminal charge (S 253, Crimial Code of Canada) is still 0.08. Between 0.05 and 0.08 the province can levy administrative sanctions (licence suspension, vehicle seizure). I believe that is uniform across Canada with the exception of Saskatchewan where the administrative sanctions can be levied at 0.04.

THAT, which you posted. Is ALL cmv enforcement. YES. They will enforce you to .04 for having a cdl. Personal OR cmv.

YES. I've been there AND arrested. I wasn't drunk so he wrote drugs instead. The charges never made it to court. They were dropped. My BAC was .005. I had 1 beer and pulled out of a bar parking lot. At 1130 p.m. that Tuesday night. From a birthday party. Company was closed for the christmas holidays so we all got a week off.

 

No they won't. If you read the actual statute it applies ONLY when operating a CMV.

I doubt it. Do you know why the "zero tolerance" limit for most states is actually 0.02? Because until recently that was the lowest reliably measured amount. So, I really doubt you were tested and found to have a BAC of 0.005; 0.05 makes a lot more sense.

 

Keeps the frustration level down, and when you slip with the wrench and bust your knuckles, it won't hurt that bad!

 

That what I'm sayin! Let me look again.
