    So you pee for alcohol. What does that prove? You blow .000 but shows you had 3 beers a week ago ?

    I was in the consortium for 25 years because of my Captains license. Regularly things were being passed around the circle at the nightly beach gatherings after work.

    But it was never worth the risk in case I ever had an incident parasailing.

    I accidentally let my captains license expire while I was over in Europe 10 years ago being I didn't use it anymore.

    Kinda nice to know I had my private life back.

    I can tell you when I had my parasail business in North Carolina and the last ride of the day was 9 pm and the bars were open till 3 am , those 7 am flights were ?

    That was many years ago and I can run a boat blind and asleep.And no beer ever touched my lips until the last passenger was off the boat for the day.

    But it's like my dad always preached to us kids because he was always worried about his Liability. I m not worried about you having a few beers , I'm worried about the Drunk that hits you .

    l was audited in 1990 for 1989 tax year. IRS said l owed $11,000. l went to the audit alone, followed instructions. Every day for 5 days. The agent said l would be notified by USPS. When the letter came , l owed $312. My tax lady said "you will not be audited again." l asked why? She said the expense of and agent one week wages vs the amount l paid, IRS lost money on my account. l could have made a math error but l always kept honest expense receipts. My last years with May, everything was recorded by computer which made keeping track very easy.

    In that case the trucking gods were very merciful with me... maybe it was the company I worked for.... or their record with DOT... :D

    No you pee for drugs. You take the breathalyzer for alcohol. Anything other than .000 is a positive test. It's been around forever. I took my first one like that in '05 three months after I started driving.

    When you get chosen for one of those, you do both.

    Looks like im delivering these super sacks of gravel to the road construction on i90 in montana. I didnt get a address or anything on bills , just a phone number and "call this guy". Called him friday after i loaded and he tells me

    " just get on i90 and drive east until u get to billings"

    He text me today with instructions for tmrw. Tells me to meet him under the bridge at milepost 433 . Like it is some top secret government gravel and nobody should know about it.

    Well hey if u guys dont hear from me by tmrw night, u know where to send help lol
