Sealed bottle of alcohol in the cab?

I'm not reading the part about going to prison, losing a CDL and never getting a CDL again.

Again more unsubstantiated truck driver drivel!

 

Truck Stop Lawyering 101: The FMCSR are part of the civil, not criminal codes. Any questions on the difference should be directed to the nearest U.S. Marshal.

 

Lemme just hit speed dial...

After a long day of work thursday and friday afternoons I stop by the convience store in my truck(semi) and buy a 12 pack of beer. I leave it on the passenger seat. I have been stopped by a DOT OFFICER who actually climbed inside my cab to do a steering wheel play inspection and the beer was right there in his view. Not illegal!
