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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
@@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
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
@@jamesshaw4954 as long as you have a tolerance. you really aren't impaired until you go past your tolerance level. I drove drunk for decades and got caught 3 times
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.
Hell yea! That’s what I’m talking about! That is true skill that driver demonstrated. Kudos to that Proffesional driver. I would hire him in a heart beat. He drove that truck better than most drivers do sober.
Where's the evidence of him drinking and driving? You were not obviously behind him so why would he think a police car next to his trailer was for him?
i just dont understand you spend all that money to go to school to become a commerical truck driver and you toss it all down the drain just so you can have some drinks then you do the unthinkable get behind 80.000 lbs semi truck put your life and everyone else life in danger i been driving commerical trucks for 35 years if i even have couple drops i wont drive i have too much to lose
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
I started driving in 88 and there were several truck stops with a bar inside or next door. one famous Truck Stop in Troutdale Or had a strip club inside it.
I’ve driven drunker than that in my old cab over. Drank a case of beer from Chicago to Cleveland back in the day when you didn’t have cameras and snitches
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.
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.
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!
Yeah this guy is never going to drive a commercial vehicle again...
Remember the walmart driver that almost killed Tracy Morgan? CDL had been suspended 5 times before.
Nah...Swift will pick him right up
Walmart driver that almost killed Tracy Morgan?
If this truck driver was driving drunk, this should be the end of his driving career, in addition to losing his driving privileges period.
Looks like a loose nut between the steering wheel and the drivers seat.
Nah jut too much ethanol in the fuel
Lol
So what the hell happened, let's see the rest of this😭
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.
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

That's how it should be, if you are dumb enough to drive drunk you don't deserve a cdl
@@jasonmacaro4052 yeah. We all know that’s how it should be. What were you hoping to convey with your comment?

Stressed out state of living... I don't condemn Him... He needs help not jail
Bulshit he does need jail
His steering wheel was loose and the flashing blue and red lights were distracting him.
It only took the semi driver from Cleveland to Toledo to stop! lol
There goes his cdl

@@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
As it should.
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

Shoulders need to be wider.
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.
I'm pretty sure drivers school says opposite .. which is stupid lol
Yup common sense

@@chasepatterson2036 obviously you don't know how to drive.
Good old basic common sense 🤷♂️
GREAT ADVERTISEMENT 4 THE COMPANY!
He was drunk. I work for the sake company. He was drunk, pants down with a bottle of Jim beam
Was he still able to meet his deadline?
You need testing! You can't spell!
@Arianna Walker Hank must be Drunk 😵
The cop himself was parked on the interstate! 😱
That is standard procedure for many jurisdictions.
He probably got the call that the trucker was heading his way and was waiting for him.
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?
@@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
I am a CDL driver and drove drunk for years.
Never got caught but quit drinking before something bad happened.
I believe you lol
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

Where’s the rest of the video?
At least flip flops driver don’t drink and drive 😂
Holy Toledo... :OP
He wasn't drunk he was scared and running because he had a suspended license✌
Poppa Wheely trust me you wouldn’t be let near a rig without a valid CDL
I am only agree about he might got nervous when he so cops we all do
@Arianna Walker are you a trucker
@Arianna Walker I am speaking from a trucker point of view you won’t understand.
Every once in a while I come back to check on this video if the driver is sober he's always drunk smh
XD
He just tired....lot lizards kept him up all night.
might be one of the best comments I've ever seen on a youtube video
He will never drive again what a real fool
This is the reason I fly by Semis.. I am not going to be a final destination movie

R u a ducking idiot or did ur mommy not love u enough
Both
Any number of things could be going on here besides drunk driving.
Thumbs down. 👎 No description about what happened? No police body camera. Waste of time to watch. 🤔🙁😣😠
Where's the evidence of him drinking and driving? You were not obviously behind him so why would he think a police car next to his trailer was for him?
How did the cop now he was drunk
Lol what are the odds. I work for the company with the yellow semi that drove past in the first few seconds.
I drive like that all the time and have never been pulled over..
The driver clearly is not drunk. He’s trashed
Impressive how he spotted the truck
i just dont understand you spend all that money to go to school to become a commerical truck driver and you toss it all down the drain just so you can have some drinks then you do the unthinkable get behind 80.000 lbs semi truck put your life and everyone else life in danger i been driving commerical trucks for 35 years if i even have couple drops i wont drive i have too much to lose
Unemployed!
No drunk driver here folks, just a typical California truck driver weaving in and out of lanes.
That's not good for your CDL
Well if he didn't know that was a Bozo no-no before, I'll bet he does now. I wonder what he does for a living these days. 😏
Rumor has it, he works for SWIFT. They hire anybody. 🤣
That's it??? I was expecting to see some indisputable evidences that the driver was drunk...
How do they know hes drunk.?
maybe that had reports, or because he was tailgating the shit out of that other car
Trucker made a career-changing decision, McDonald's may be his next job...
no sound no watch
I'm sure he's driving for Swift now
If he would have been using his CB that never would have happened....
Revoke his Cdl and put him in prison.
I was curious about this Driver humiliating my profession,I am a career driver with 38 years experience and squeeky clean record.
Furious is the reason.
Glad he didn't kill someone...get the drunks off the road!
He's toast!
With Grape Jam!,😋
You mustn't drink while trucking
When u run u make it worse
I don't care if you drink that is your choice but if you get behind the wheel an drive l don't think you should ever drive again. End of story.
Somebody going to get a big ticket
He will be lucky to get a ticket. The punishment for DUI is one year license suspension for the first one then for life for the second
I got a headache from the shaking camera. did this footage get turned in to law enforcement?
Oh I don't know Robyn, I sure hope that cop in the cop car turned his footage into himself.
Look at the push bumper you Wally. It's a Police car recording
Law inforcement IS TAKING THE PICTURE!!!!
Robyn M is this a trick question?
Welp there goes your career
Lessors has one less trucker.
His really drunk😦
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

50s and 60s glory days for drink driving, 0.15 limit and no accurate breathalyzer until 1969?
Scary the trooper was in danger good job smokey

Heehee
Ya mamó :"v
DUI should be a MINIMUM of $100,000 fine, 50 years in prison without parole and crush the vehicle.

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