The Trucker image takes another hit...
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — A Florida tractor-trailer driver is free on bond after police say they caught him driving his rig 102 miles an hour while high on crack.
39-year-old Marlin Forest, of Tampa, had a bond review hearing this afternoon in Hagerstown after spending last night in jail. The judge ordered bail to remain at $200,000, but Forest was released later in the day after posting bond. State police say they stopped his rig on Interstate 70 at about 5:30 Sunday morning near Maryland Route 66, a few miles east of Hagerstown. Forest is charged with possessing a controlled dangerous substance and drug paraphernalia.

And the answer is "no" you can't drive a truck if you have been convicted of a felony. And "no" you can't drive a truck if you have a DUI. So doesn't that mean the industry is improving? BTW, anyone driving a truck at 102 is an O/O. And some of them are O/O's because no one will hire them.
