Alcohol in a CMV ?
I always thought never but came across this .
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regul...0163348002327b
Question 3: Does the prohibition against carrying alcoholic beverages in §392.5 apply to a driver who uses a company vehicle, for personal reasons, while off-duty?
Guidance: No. For example, an owner-operator using his/her own vehicle in an off-duty status, or a driver using a company truck or tractor for transportation to a motel, restaurant, or home, would normally be outside the scope of this section
So those of you who use your trucks under authority whether your own or a carrier's can go pick up some cold ones will off duty . If you do that you might want to print this and carry it to show doubting LOE's .
