So can you stop at the store, pick up a six, put it in the truck, drive to the motel? or no.

Seriously, Molsen, If drinking beer is that important to you, you really need to consider another line of work!! You are beginning to sound a wee bit like "Chad/Col.Toon/BrianGriffinn". If you haven't figuered it out by reading the replies that you are playing with fire, then please take this as your wake-up call and let me spell it out for you. Every now and then, if you are shut down for the night due to weather, or if you are on your 34hr. reset, and you want to get a motel room, call a cab for a ride to the package store & back, or walk to an eatery where adult beverages are offered, providing that there is a place that you can reach safely, and you know when to say "when", then you shouldn't have a problem, as long as your company has no problem with you doing so. On the other hand, beer drinking is so important to you, then this isn't the right career move for you. Can you dig that?? |

If you were concerned about being near the control you could simply get in on the right side of the truck. Or simply be in the right seat. Another way a person can have a drink is be at a truck stop that has a bar. Or at a Casino. I have yet to find any statement by FMCSA that says you can not have alcohol in your CMV. Only you can not consume alcohol for at least 4 hours before you go on-duty or be under the influence of alcohol. Now should a driver consume alcohol while he/she is in a CMV? - NO Leave it for when you will not be driving for an extended period. kc0iv |
Its not. Someone asked me about it and I told them I did not know the laws and rules so figured I would ask.
A beer is like a candy bar, dont need them, just have one once in awhile. I live a certain lifestyle now so I am just learning what my new one could potentially be like. Thanks for all the info. as always peeps. |

Seriously though, I do enjoy a beer or... well, more than one. I'm a little leery about having beer in the truck, so I'll head to a sports bar and watch some football with the locals as long as I know I have time to sleep and eat and all of the rest of it before I drive again. If there's no alcohol in my system and no alcohol in my truck, it's tough to figure out where there would be an issue. |

Glad to see you weigh in here. As fart as stopping off at a C-Store, that's a good way to attract the attention of LEO's, and if they find you toting a six pack back to your truck, then you are going to be in serious trouble. Sports Bars?? If they'll let you park there for the night; otherwise, you'll be driving with alchohol in your system. Why risk it?? Is drinking a beer really worth jepordizing your job, your career, or your reputation?? |
