Drunken Truck Driver

A suspected drunken driver behind the wheel of a semi-truck was arrested Aug. 5.

[@sylliboiswag5349]

Yeah this guy is never going to drive a commercial vehicle again...

[@joerubio3391]

Remember the walmart driver that almost killed Tracy Morgan? CDL had been suspended 5 times before.

[@MattyIcecubes]

Nah...Swift will pick him right up

Walmart driver that almost killed Tracy Morgan?

[@davidtheriot3205]

Looks like a loose nut between the steering wheel and the drivers seat.

[@chasedavis2358]

Nah jut too much ethanol in the fuel

[@toxicdino8676]

Lol

[@lifehappens7511]

If this truck driver was driving drunk, this should be the end of his driving career, in addition to losing his driving privileges period.

[@bigpacotaco]

He just saved alot of people great job

[@sd90mac61]

So what the hell happened, let's see the rest of this😭

[@gilbertojode5073]

Stressed out state of living... I don't condemn Him... He needs help not jail

[@nicolasklopfenstein1305]

Bulshit he does need jail

[@stanleylee4807]

His steering wheel was loose and the flashing blue and red lights were distracting him.

[@lindamoore3729]

There goes his cdl

[@LandonsGrampa]

Linda, unfortunately, that is not the case. These folks hire a lawyer, who gets the charge dropped to a misdemeanor seat belt violation. Nothing on their permanent record.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

0351 MARINE Nope, a DWI is a sure way to loose your cdl and driving privileges. Not sure for how long but it’ll be a lot harder to get his/her commercial privileges reinstated than a regular license.

[@rollingacresfarmstead206]

@@EricFortuneJr. a guy I know just got one last year. CDL got forfeited for 10years with no promise of getting it back.This was in his car

[@robertinscoe2379]

As it should.

[@arnoldmayer6914]

Even if he gets his CDL back what Trucking Company can afford the insurance premiums even if they're willing to give him a job

[@nancydemoss8421]

It only took the semi driver from Cleveland to Toledo to stop! lol

[@TidalWaveDan]

Sad thing is, you know it from the moment you step in that truck that if you get caught it’s the end of your career.

[@Johnbeat100]

Right whenever im.on the road if I want to drink I will not sleep or stay near truck hotel for me truck keys in lock box

[@metaparcel]

It's not sad, its great he was taken off the road. The sadness of losing your career is nothing compared to the joy of catching them because they would have killed or injured someone eventually. Too many experienced drivers think their shit don't stink and love to point out how amazing of a driver they are. This is probably one such driver who thinks he can drink, drive and make a living all at the same time. Ridiculous.

[@jasonmacaro4052]

That's how it should be, if you are dumb enough to drive drunk you don't deserve a cdl

[@TidalWaveDan]

@@jasonmacaro4052 yeah. We all know that’s how it should be. What were you hoping to convey with your comment?

[@TidalWaveDan]

@@metaparcel why say it’s not sad? Have you given it some thought? A person’s career and livelihood is riding on his/her ability to get in a commercial vehicle and drive but their addiction reaches a point where they’ll risk it all just for a buzz. Not only putting lives at risk but risking changing his/her life permanently and their families lives if they are simply pulled over. If that’s not sad, you lack empathy on a level I would not be comfortable with.

[@benmurawski]

The legal alcohol limit for CDL holders should be 0. The fact that whoever's driving that 18-wheeler is drunk is proof of why truckers are only allowed to have alcohol in their trucks if they're transporting it as a shipment.

[@airbus-a330]

it is 0. and abc can only be in trailer, not in the cab. i couldn't even get a silly little souvenir bottle when i parked overnight at area 51 to bring back. read the fmcsr, any detectable amount of alcohol is a minimum 24 hour oos violation for a driver inspection, while the "legal limit" for a charge of dwi/ovwi/dui/etc and prohibited status is 0.04 or consumption within 4 hours of performing a safety sensitive function.

[@hankbridges5055]

The cop himself was parked on the interstate! 😱

[@13BGunBunny]

That is standard procedure for many jurisdictions.

[@solidrock3886]

He probably got the call that the trucker was heading his way and was waiting for him.

[@harryl7946]

With lights on too. You forgot to say that. Vehicle slightly turned to the lanes of travel. To keep you off of him should your phone ring right as you approach. Drive a lot do ya?

[@alanfernandez2598]

@@solidrock3886 im sure he had a call. We were going from fl to tx and a seni truck was tailgating everyone so bad and going to the sides speeding. We called police to let them know

[@dwightarnold6980]

GREAT ADVERTISEMENT 4 THE COMPANY!

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Is there any news story on this? Assuming that he was drunk is just irresponsible without more info to corroborate it. I saw a driver suffer a stroke and he was driving like this, so there's no telling without more info.

[@Mycrazyadventur91]

Why crush the vehicle if the guys doing 50 years in prison? It's not the car's fault it's the driver's fault! Repossess the car sell it auction or give it to the police force.

[@hankbridges5055]

Shoulders need to be wider.

[@joelaform4089]

He was drunk. I work for the sake company. He was drunk, pants down with a bottle of Jim beam

[@jamesshaw4954]

They made me take a 34 on the terminal on Easter and I was 4 hours from home and there was a gas station 1 mile down the road so I got a 12 pack some ice and a gabage bag and enjoyed the night

[@اسحاقالنمر-ر9ث]

@Arianna Walker I am speaking from a trucker point of view you won’t understand.

[@skyeram]

Just wanted to point out how the officer built up his speed before coming back on the road. He didn't just pull out at 2 MPH in front of a semi truck.

[@jlthomas531]

I'm pretty sure drivers school says opposite .. which is stupid lol

[@orcuser]

Yup common sense

[@chasepatterson2036]

Actually, what you're referring to in driver school where it says to "turn sharply onto the pavement" is for returning to the road when your wheels are in the dirt. Otherwise, if you try to slowly merge onto the road from the dirt, your tires will rub against the edge of the pavement as they try to get a grip and they could blow out.

What happens a lorry driver dui or dwi does he loses his driving licence to drive a lorry and he does not get his driving licence back to drive a lorry.

Probably lose his licence for a year or so. A big fine. Probably have to take training courses to get licence back. Once the word gets out though. No company will probably ever hire him.

Revoke his Cdl and put him in prison.

Okay the truck driver might have been drunk but what about the highway patrol he parked on the travel Lane there's only two lanes and he takes up one lane there's plenty of room behind the semi truck why did he have to take off one lane he's going to cause an accident maybe the highway patrol should get a ticket also

DUI should be a MINIMUM of $100,000 fine, 50 years in prison without parole and crush the vehicle. Double fine and jail time for CDL holders and law enforcement personnel.

[@Sahadi420]

LOL, so, if I blow a 0.07, I go home. If I blow a 0.08...........I get 50 years. Makes sense.

[@charlesyoung9980]

So a 200,000 dollar fine and 100 years in jail.. Ok, if that's the case, why would the driver even stop. His life and career are LITERALLY over. So, why not just make a break for it. After all, at least that way he has a slim chance of freedom.

[@NeilusNihilus]

LOL

[@caseygriffin8878]

Why not start this kind of judgment first with pedophiles and rapists? Go after the drunk drivers when this kind of punishment is enforced. 5 years for a DUI, but 50 for child molesters and rapists that roam the streets. That sounds like a better start. A driver gets caught with a DUI even without a license they are fucked to never get a CDL for at least a few years and even then no one will hire them, but a fuckin creep only gets minor time with a little probation, get the fuck out!
