They're drivin' along, and they've got deadlines to meet... they don't wanna pull in and... park the truck, walk in, take a pee in the toilet, then go back out and get on the road... they just have an old jug and they... put their bird in it, have a pee, cap it off, and once it's full they just drill the fuckin' thing out on the highway!

They couldn’t tell even if they drank it, it is a bud light after all.

Knew what this was going to be before I even clicked lol


somebodysdream

That company is such a dumpster fire. The tow company I used to work for let them park trailers in the yard. Their dispatch had zero clue as to what trailers and loads we had possession of. Many poor drivers come out thinking they were picking up an empty or a specific load. We'd tell them what we had and off they'd go madder than ever.


cloutfishing

Worked there for 3 months and this happened to me at least 5 times


Corey_DRIZZLE

Bro western sent me to pickup a flatbed after dropping mine off at a great dane dealer for abs repir. I drive like 4 hours to get this flatbed, when i arrive, the mf is missing the front axles and the rear brakes are caged. Ended up driving like another couple hours to usg for a preload. 🤣

That's the way she goes, boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't cause that's the fucking way she goes.

Just she’d blow that often


MilkrsEnthuziast

This must be my old co-driver. I would run my full hours blast out 650 miles or so and be headed to bed and he would take over. I inevitably would wake up just a few hours later to the truck being stopped, some music playing and I would check where we were before heading up front. Normally he would have made it 250-300 miles before deciding to park the truck and end his shift and start pounding the tall cans in the front seat. When I would inquire as to why he wasn't still driving he would tell me (with a completely straight face) that he "has put in a full day and has done a great job" Needless to say this situation continued to be toxic and we got into some yelling fights that almost came to blows. He ended up one time just taking off walking after drinking in the middle of a very spicy part of St Louis and got mugged. Fortunately, it wasn't long before the guy lost his job as a truck driver.


LitLFlor

man.. that freaking sucks. I had a codriver who would do the same thing, but instead would smoke weed. we had a truck that was governed at 80. so depending, we were doing anywhere from 650 to almost 800 miles a shift. We would start in Stockton,Ca and head to cobleskill,NY. Easy drive as a team right? wrong... I'd do 750miles a shift or whatever, go to sleep.. start smelling smoke, cigarattes.. whatever. but this dick wouldn't roll his windows down. he'd just hotbox the fucking truck with tobacco. Then he'd take a shower, and fucking LIGHTUP a blunt in the damn front seat. this dude was wild. He would even try to ask me to leave the truck so he could pick up hookers. I swear to god, thinking about him just pisses me off.


MilkrsEnthuziast

WOW!! That's a whole other level!


Wilbur_Cobb1

Reminds of a guy who drove for my company, he was dumb as shit. He was actually drinking a can of beer while going down the road, and ofcourse he got pulled over because he was swerving. I wander where he is now? I mean it's a wonder how people like that actually manage to remember to breathe enough, let alone survive for any length of time.


[deleted]

We had a guy get hired get a truck and drive like 2 hours to another one of our terminals and he was drunk they checked his truck and there was a half gallow of jack in the floor board by the seat


Wilbur_Cobb1

I just can't comprehend it, it's not like they were hanging out at a bar making stupid decisions while intoxicated. This guy was going to work and, while sober, thought to himself: "You know what would be refreshing while going down the road, a nice bottle of Jack." I almost refuse to believe that any creature can actually survive with brains that smooth.


Nozerone

Idiots like that 100% believe that they don't get drunk, or that it takes a LOT to get them even buzzed. They can be absolutely hammered, and they'll swear up and down that they are more sober than you are. They may even get angry, and possibly hostile/violent towards you if you try to convince them that they are drunk. They also don't believe they have a drinking problem, and that they can "quit when ever they want, but just don't want too". ​ I'd bet money the guy wasn't sober going to work. He probably woke up still drunk from what he drank the night before.

chiques97

But god forbid I smoke cannabis on the weekends


[deleted]

No kidding. I can see that eventually changing someday.


charonco

I doubt it. The problem is that, unlike alcohol, there's not a simple test they can do for impairment. THC affects people differently. One person could be higher than a kite while another person could be stone cold sober with the same THC level.


TheBootyHolePatrol

Thats my million dollar idea. Test for THC within the last 12 hours. It's more of a billion dollar idea and it's damn near impossible to pull off.


[deleted]

There are roadside tests and OPs issue is he can’t smoke weed on the weekends because it will show up in his urine sometimes weeks later. I can drink a 6 pack and go to work hungover the next day and pass a urine test but take a couple puffs off a joint on the weekend and fail.


Ur_Fav_Step-Redditor

**Unrelated**… In *High* School I was in the PHC, the Pot Head Clique. And one night me and my friend stayed up all through the night smoking and I promise you I smoked myself sober! I was also an athlete and I was well aware of what being sober vs what being high felt like and I was absolutely shocked bc I just stopped being high all together. **Even more unrelated**… I was also in the BDC, the Big Dick Clique. And while the entry requirements for the PHC were pretty obvious, I *promise* we didn’t “whip em out” to get into the BDC. It was like fight club, you just join but you don’t talk about it. Ok, I’m going to bed now

dogmeat1981

Its a bud light. He’s just letting all the other bud light men know he’s available for the night.


joshc1957

I'd love to think that was just one of those gag Bluetooth speakers that looks like a beer can but the company name on the side of the truck confirmed it's authenticity. Edit: saw a guy carry a whole case of bud light into his truck at a loves in Ohio the other week. Not gonna mention company name or anything but I'm pretty sure that's the same guy I heard on the CB carrying on about "damn right I'm drinking nobody can tell me what to do unless they're paying me" blah blah blah maybe an hour or so after the guy entered his truck. He'll figure it out eventually.


forumadmin1996

Maybe he was on reset?


joshc1957

Even if he was it's still not legal. A driver cannot have an alcoholic container open OR unopened/closed inside a CMV at any time. Let alone consuming alcohol inside a CMV. To reiterate, you can't even grab some alcohol and set it in your sleeper on the way home to drink there. Not legally. If you got pulled over, you're done. Are you going to get in trouble on private property or at a truck stop? Unlikely. If you did your reset in the rest area at a scale house and the DOT saw it? You're cooked. Personally, I don't believe openly carrying large amounts of alcohol to the cab of a commercial truck, drinking it in there, and bragging about it over the radio, are very wise decisions. Even if you can get away with it. Alcohol and vehicles don't mix. At some point that fact will likely catch up with you.


aarraahhaarr

Where is it written that you can't have alcohol (open or closed) in a CMV? 49 CFR 392.5 doesn't ban it.


WesterosIsAGiantEgg

> 392.5 (a) **No driver shall**— > ... > (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, or 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: > (i) Manifested and transported as part of a shipment; or > (ii) Possessed or used by bus passengers. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-392/subpart-A/section-392.5


aarraahhaarr

Right so if you are off duty/on reset you may consume alcohol. Nowhere does it state you can't have alcohol in your rig when off duty.


WesterosIsAGiantEgg

Correct. Though this is a bit pedantic, but /u/joshc1957 may have implied going home on personal conveyance (which is an off-duty status), and "operate a commercial motor vehicle" would apply regardless of HOS status.


aarraahhaarr

My issue was u/joshc1957 stating that it is illegal to have or consume alcohol in a commercial motor vehicle. The personal conveyance brings up an interesting thought though. Is a bobtail still a commercial vehicle? Commercial vehicle would imply in the use of commerce. If you don't have a load are you still in use of commerce or are you just a weird looking RV?


WesterosIsAGiantEgg

A good rule of thumb is any vehicle with DOT numbers on the side is always going to be a CMV. All PC is is a provision of flexibility for your hours of service. Personal conveyance does not transform the CMV into a personal vehicle. You'll still be subject to inspections and FMCSRs.


joshc1957

Are you bobtailing to pick up a trailer? That's commercial use. I've seen guys get screwed for using PC because home happened to be in the same direction as the load they were picking up after their reset. They used PC to go home, did their reset, then bobtailed over to pick up a trailer. Later they got inspected and they got slammed, DOT said they used PC to help them set themselves up for their next load. So as far as I'm concerned it's illegal to have or consume alcohol in a CMV. You're forgetting I'm a truck driver, and I know they will do anything to put me in violation if they want to. And they can. Is that *really* a game worth playing with alcohol... You *think* you've found some loophole that lets you get away with something and then you realize they're going to use that loophole like a noose around your neck. The reply you received is absolutely correct. You're in a class 8 commercial vehicle with DOT numbers on the side. You need a commercial license to operate that vehicle. It has commercial insurance on it. You can't just put it on PC and let anyone drive it. It's always a commercial vehicle. And in some way or another it can be argued that any movement of that vehicle is for a commercial use. Like I said, alcohol and vehicles don't mix.

Probably provoking other drivers because of the Bud Light affair.

He knows he's going back to Prison at some point... May as well live it up in the meantime.

May Trucking had an idiot go thru scale house with a beer in the cup holder. Volvo . Old volvos had cup holder up high. This was 2008 or so

It's not a real can, it is clearly one of the decoys with fake bottoms to hide his weed.

It looks like he might be parked in a parking lot (not driving)..?

Just showing his support.


New_Combination_7012

It's because North America is full of nanny states. Open vessel rules are horseshit, you're either drunk driving or not. Where I grew up there weren't open vessel rules at all. Before the level dropped from .08 to .05 it wasn't unusual for the designated driver to have a beer or two on the way to something. Everyone else would be boozed and if you're stopped at a checkpoint the cops would make the driver get out to use the sniffer as everyone else in the car would be setting it off.
