Notice the word is USE not have it in your PRESENCE
You stopped reading after (a)(1) apparently.
Quote:
(a)(3) Be on duty or operate a commercial motor vehicle while the driver possesses wine of not less than one-half of one per centum of alcohol by volume, beer as defined in 26 U.S.C. 5052(a), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and distilled spirits as defined in section 5002(a)(8), of such Code.
However, this does not apply to possession of wine, beer, or distilled spirits which are:
(a)(3)(i) Manifested and transported as part of a shipment; or
(a)(3)(ii) Possessed or used by bus passengers.

#2 - You ask:Quote:
So, if you can figure out a way whereby you do not go to the controls of your CMV (this would include starting the truck to idle it, going to the restroom, getting out for any reason whatsoever), then you can have alcohol in your CMV. I would love to know, however, how you managed to get the alcohol into your CMV without being at the controls.
Another way a person can have a drink is be at a truck stop that has a bar. Or at a Casino.
Apparently, it is reading comprehension problem tonight on CAD. I

Quote:

Which part of "prohibition against carrying alcoholic beverages" is hard to understand?
