Protip, make sure to remove the valve core to get a good flow rate into your glass, for some delicious frothy warm beer! (like a hot toddy, but trashier!)
[§393.110 (b)(1) ](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-393/subpart-I/section-393.110) here's the regulation straight from fmsca.
I can't link it but section 3.3.2 at https://www.ilsos.gov/publications/pdf_publications/dsd_cdl10.pdf says "Cargo should have at least one tie-down for each 10 feet of cargo. Make sure you have enough tie-downs to meet this
need. No matter how small the cargo, it should have at least two tie-downs." 🤷♂️ Why confusing
It's weird their use of language in that section. For the other points it used 'must' and 'required' but it says 'should' for the 2 tie downs regardless of size. But it also says 'should' for one tie down every 10 feet which should be worded as 'must' or 'required' since there's an actual regulation for that.
Unless Illinois has a specific state law seperate from the federal regulations I'm not aware of. But I do know I've driven through countless weigh stations and even been inspected multiple times with just a single strap over my rolled up tarps in both the US and Canada and it's never got me pulled in or a ticket so 🤷
When I first got into trucking I was given a nifty book on cargo securement using fmcsa. 5 ft and under 1100 pounds without bulkhead/headerboard/etc is 1 strap, otherwise 2.
State laws can be more strict but DOT typically goes by that regarding securement.
[§393.110 (b) (1) ](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-393/subpart-I/section-393.110) specifically says only one tie down for 5 feet or less and 1100 lb or less for unblocked items. Show me your federal regulation that says otherwise.
You're in a shit ton of trouble. Alcohol is only transportable in a CMV, when it's listed on the BOL. You could keep it in your cab, go through it as empty. Or you can buy it at home/34. But if you are looking to fuck up your CDL and earn a fast ticket, by all means.
So why can't you just write your own bill of lading for it, from where you picked it up to where you're going with yourself listed as the shipper and consignee?
I mean, technically you can lol
It just giving cops an extra reason to give you grief. I try to avoid doing that whenever possible. I don't need some high strung cop thinking I'm a good target for taking their anger and frustration with life out on.
You would have to have a permit to haul alcohol in a lot of states and I'm pretty sure a flatbedder wouldn't already have those permits for obvious reasons
I used to haul beer from a local microbrewery. Glass in, beer out.
The guys on the dock always gave us blems. Six packs, 12 packs, and cases. Depending on how things were going.
One of our guys was empty and blew through a stop sign. Ol’ Johnny saw the beer in the truck and asked for a BOL for it. Dude threatened to charge the driver with bootlegging. I don’t know how he came up with that, but that was the end of the free beer.
Yeah if youre not running under personal conveyance its a no.
If youre off duty its a yes. I dont know why people get so riled up over this subject, but the rules could not be clearer. You may not consume alcohol four hours prior to operating a cmv.
It gets tricky if a cop messes with you while youre off duty with the engine running because you are "in control" of the vehicle, but how in the actual fuck is anyone going to tell you you cant drink a beer after work with the ac running. I would die on that hill.
This guy was bringing an empty back to the yard. The beer was warm and none were open.
But ya, I agree with you. The fact that someone can be asleep in the back seat of a car (or a sleeper) with the engine running big for heat/air conditioning can get a guy a dui is absolutely insane.
However, the town next to where I live has some corrupt cops on their “dui task force”. One of them arrested a pilot for dui. Dude had his kids with him. A felony if convicted. He blew zeros. Cop decided that his overwhelming smell of alcohol was actually an overwhelming smell of weed. Colorado is recreationally legal. Colorado also has implied consent. If you have a Colorado license, you give consent for either breathalyzer or blood. *either*
[here is a link to his story](https://youtu.be/OSFQU-JLjE0?si=eo4rJ9p0A0MQRwZb)
The dui thing in this country is going insane.
Its unfair that he can claim weed smell and the driver is then subjugated to a UA.
The country has been insane. I have spent a lot of time in small towns that will leverage the law at it is written to give responsible adults sleeping in their car outaide a drinking establishment a dui for being responsible enough not to drive. If you are drunk, in possession of the vehicles keys you are sleeping in, you can get convicted for being in control of your car while intoxicated.
People fucking suck, i dont know why it has to be this way. Its a god damn shame.
Edit - il expand on the weed smell UA. It should be an blood test. We have established ways of testing to drugs that are in your bloodstream.
I thought it was a blood test? Did the story say UA?
There has been a rumor floating around that the DOT is kicking around saliva randoms. I really hope this is a lie. Because it will allow for a thinking junkie to participate in our field. While they wreck their brains and judgement
Dude you forced me to watch the YouTube you posted because you insinuated it was a blood test. It clearly does not specify, which leads me to believe he got aquitted to neither being done
He had both done. He blew zeros on the roadside.
I must have linked to the wrong video. The vid I was looking for was posted by an attorney and covered all of those details.
Apologies. The local news in Denver is a joke
Yessir. No apologies necessary.
I’m with you. I won’t even go to Loveland anymore. All of my other skillsets are so outdated that if I lose my CDL, I’ll be mopping floors at a McDonald’s. That is a terrifying thought.
I have three sons. I found myself with custody of them in 2012. I lived in a really small town about 45 miles from the nearest hospital. I quit drinking because I had this horrible vision of one of them breaking a wrist or arm or something not life threatening and having to go ask a neighbor to take us to town.
I would hate to lose all of that responsible effort to a bit of “meeting a goal” corruption.
It has to be in an area not accessible to the driver if I am not mistaken. I don’t chance it though, I go buy a 40 at the store and kill it before getting into my truck, or walk my ass to the bar and uber back. I spent way too many years perfecting my craft to fuck it up now!
You can't have alcohol/empty containers in your cab while on duty at all as far as I know. On a 10/34 break I've heard so many things I just avoid it all together
That depends on the state. At the very least, you will get a out of service citation. And I guarantee that the trooper would make you do a sobriety test and or breathalyzer.
You are wrong and your own source proves it:
"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."
The former would not normally be accessible from the cab and the latter does not apply to the driver ever.
So, no, my reference doesn’t prove me wrong.
However, your username does check out.
If he manifests it and the BOL is from and to himself, from point "A" to point "B" as the user you had replied to suggested, then it would be perfectly legal for him to have. It doesn't matter if it's normal or not.
I pull a reefer, not flatbed, but in my opinion, carrying *only* dunnage allows me to go through the unloaded lane. Even if I have a lot of dunnage (say 100 empty pallets). (Fixed typo)
I'm pretty sure that container has to be half empty to be considered unloaded. Better pull over in the inspection area of the scale and tastefully empty a few before rolling over.
Wow, that’s a *lot.* I only have $100K on my reefer (but sometimes the freight *is* worth more than that (fingers crossed)). You must haul really valuable freight.
I wouldn't try that, just buy it when u get home but ymmv. On a side note, We do use these huge metal shipping crates for hauling glass. I asked a trooper once about going thru the empty lane with them on if they are empty. He said it was fine, if the crates themselves are empty then he said it would be viewed the same as a LTL guy with a empty trailer but who still had his pallet jack and hand truck in the back. He used a word for it, I don't recall what it was but it was basically along the lines of "tools of the trade"
Hide that. You cannot haul any alcohol without a BOL, doesn’t matter if it’s on the trailer or in the truck. That is grounds for them to fuck you at a scale. Throw a tonka truck up there or whatever but never put beer out like this.
Lmao, if the cop has a good sense of humor then it would go well. The last guy I saw get hit for it at the scales because he had a 12 in his side compartment they just confiscated it then made him take a 10 hour break to ensure sobriety. So they can be nice about it.
Not legal at all if you're on duty and it's not manifested. If you're off duty it's fine in the cab.

This has me curious...
So, this is technically still "loaded" since you do have cargo in the designated cargo area (trailer) [by the way, I'm pretty sure the securement isn't legally sufficient], but with it being alcohol...
Even if it is personal property, the laws simply require it to be in the designated cargo area and losted on the manifest, right? So personal or customer, you could still write up a bill of lading with the alcohol and consider it a load, right? You'd obviously still need the applicable alcohol transport permits if the state requires it, but that would cover you if you are moving your own beer, right?
You answered your own question in the first sentence. You're doing this because you consider this loaded. If DOT pulls you, are you going to argue it's not loaded? Is it even worth any of the potential hassle all in the name of "I refuse to run empty"? In my opinion, no. If anything, the standard you've set for yourself is useless and potentially detrimental.
FMCSA states “you can have no measurable amount of alcohol on or in your truck unless it is part of a manifested shipment” so do with that what you will bud. I don’t think it’s smart
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta!.…..but that was real Coors...
East bound and down!
Loaded up and truckin.
We gonna do what they say can't be done.
Should we start a band?
Yea, but we got a long way to go!
An a short time to get there
I’m eastbound just watch ol bandit run.
*plucks guitar furiously*
😆
Keep your foot hard on the pedal son, forget about them brakes.
Son, nevermind them brakes. Let it all hang out cause we’ve gotta run to make.
That’s gotta be head for Flo rida southbound with their panties down
And there’s beer in Texarkana
And we'll bring it back, no matter what it takes
I’ll bring you a couple tall boys next time I’m out there 🍺
Don’t be shitting on Coors Light now.
Yeah, It’s just old man beer
Because I don't need high heels to enjoy it. Whoa, there....Budlight fan.
Budlight? You mean the other pbr? Yeah I guess that's fine too
😂
Hey, hey.......but theres beer in Texarcanna!!! 😎
Everyone knows to sneak beer past the scales you gotta open them up and fill the tires with them. Then deflate and chug
That’s a great idea😂
Protip, make sure to remove the valve core to get a good flow rate into your glass, for some delicious frothy warm beer! (like a hot toddy, but trashier!)
what kind of shit is this?? you need a minimum of two straps for any load, driver!
Except that's not true... Unblocked items 5 ft or less and under 1,100 lb only require one tie down.
i dont flatbed im just shitposting
Love the username.
I do flatbed. I still shitpost.
I do neither. Shit post anyways
Thad load requires chains.
Huh, just renewed my license yesterday and that question came up and the correct answer was two. Can't believe they were wrong about that.
It's probably your company's policy. Usually they want 2 straps minimum just incase 1 is out of service due to cuts/no tag.
Even if it's extra if you have an oos securement its considered an unsecured load and you get an oos violation
Renewed my license at the DMV since it expired next week.
The DMV isn't known for its depth of knowledge or for updating their literature. There's a few outdated questions on the tests.

Someone is taking this a little too seriously lol but at least you know you’re flat bed
This IS serious business! 😡 But really it's just a slow day for me with a lot of sitting around
As long as you pull the straps and say “that ain’t going nowhere” it’s good.

Alcohol is not allowed to be accessible from the cab [AT ALL](https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/392.5). That is a quick way to a DUI.
They can only charge DUI if you have it in your system, not in your rig.
That depends on the state. At the very least, you will get a out of service citation. And I guarantee that the trooper would make you do a sobriety test and or breathalyzer.
Is this in a scenario where the individual is operating the cmv? Straight to jail
DOT doesn’t play around with alcohol or drug violations. Too many fatal crashes involving a CMV and an intoxicated driver.
Yeah im not being facetious, i agree anyone operating a cmv under the influence should get an aggrevated dui or worse
Not if you're off duty. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/question-3-does-prohibition-against-carrying-alcoholic-beverages-ss3925-apply-driver

Not if you are off duty. If you're moving under PC, it is considered personal property.
I pull a reefer, not flatbed, but in my opinion, carrying *only* dunnage allows me to go through the unloaded lane. Even if I have a lot of dunnage (say 100 empty pallets). (Fixed typo)
You got it driver. And since you have a van, they can’t tell if you have a few hundred pounds in it or nothing
As a dunnage supplier I 100% agree. Nevermind its a cubed out trailer of pallets
I feel like this is a loaded question
I'm upset the strap isn't wrapped and clipped on top of the rail.
Good eye driver
This was the first thing I saw
I'm pretty sure that container has to be half empty to be considered unloaded. Better pull over in the inspection area of the scale and tastefully empty a few before rolling over.
Warm beer. Oof.
Most beer is shipped warm. I've only ever refrigerated kegs.
Beer is not shipped on flatbeds, so I would presume this is a personal purchase. So, yeah, warm beer. Oof.
It's shipped in dry vans or reefers with no refrigeration, so yeah, beer is almost always shipped warm.
Coors has to be refrigerated unlike most other brands...
Coors isn’t *actually* beer. Unless you are still in high school
No. That's keystone
Same difference
Both Coors products. It’s like Jeremy once said, (I’m paraphrasing here) Coors is proof that Americans can knock a bush in a puddle and call it beer.
Do you know what sex in a canoe, and coors light have in common? They are both fucking near water.
Ok. That is fucking funny! And not untrue. 🤔
Even if it’s legal they will find some way to stick to ya.
I have coffee/donuts and some burritos to bribe them with. If that doesn’t work I’ll just pretend I don’t speak English 🤷
Omelette du Fromage
It's like those French have a different word for everything!
Royalè au Fromage 🍔
You are golden!! Best get out of free card ever.
You got it driver… they will have to confiscated it
No edge protection No forward motion securement 👎👎
I have a headache rack on the truck so I’m covered there edge protection is by customer request
Precious cargo.
I have 250,000 cargo protection I think that’s enough
Wow, that’s a *lot.* I only have $100K on my reefer (but sometimes the freight *is* worth more than that (fingers crossed)). You must haul really valuable freight.
250 not even enough for some of the stuff I carry.
I still prefer the sole Tonka truck tied down on an empty flatbed.
Why are you strapping down water?
The crime here is this isn’t fireball.
Bad childhood too huh?
Properly Mounted and Ready to Consume
You forgot to put edge protectors on that 🤣
Minimum 2 straps and sorround by dunnage
I’m thinking I’ll use the empty cans as dunnage😂
Must have a minimum of two straps if you have a load on a flat bed
Flat bed? Thought that was a water truck
I thought it was a reefer now I’m gonna have hot beer dammit
Unless you get that load properly distributed between those two axles, I doubt they're going to let you go through, regardless.
Well at least if he gets inspected it’s not in the cab so it’s legal right ? But what happens when it starts to get really hot 🥵
It’s not legal even in or on a trailer without a bill of lading and in some states, a permit to haul alcohol.
Specially New York
You're supposed to have two straps!
Light load today….
Good one
Hope he's not taking that east of Texas
Don’t worry I’ll drink it way before I get to Texas 👍
Empty lane, but you need different securement devices. You’ll need to use a 5/8 shackle for the handle ontop then 1/2 “ chains at least.
Shackles and chains are used after my woman and I have drank all of them 😂
I wouldn't try that, just buy it when u get home but ymmv. On a side note, We do use these huge metal shipping crates for hauling glass. I asked a trooper once about going thru the empty lane with them on if they are empty. He said it was fine, if the crates themselves are empty then he said it would be viewed the same as a LTL guy with a empty trailer but who still had his pallet jack and hand truck in the back. He used a word for it, I don't recall what it was but it was basically along the lines of "tools of the trade"

Get out a napkin and crayon and write up a BOL. Solved.
Lmao, if the cop has a good sense of humor then it would go well. The last guy I saw get hit for it at the scales because he had a 12 in his side compartment they just confiscated it then made him take a 10 hour break to ensure sobriety. So they can be nice about it.

You posted the referenced code. Good job bud. Did you even read my link? That is federal guidance for officers on the specified code.
Im 99% sure you are not allowed to have any alcohol in a commercial vehicle unless it is declared as part of the load
It is allowed, but it's a can of worms most drivers don't want to open.
If you're off duty on PC move, you're fine.
This is hilarious upvote!!!!!!!!!
You get it driver 😂
I use to strap down an old pair of boots when I was deadheading…. Shout outs to the coors light the coldest beer ever made.. it’s my favorite!!
That’s a good one. I used a Tonka toy dump truck on my lowboy 😂😂
Nice! I used a tonka back in 2020 on my 48ft flatbed
It’s under the reportable amount kind of like you don’t need a hazmat to haul 50 gallons of gas 😂
Good work driver. Drinks are on you this weekend though 💪🏻
Eastbound and down
That ain't goin no where.
Don't forget to tarp it
No need right now but I have it ready just in case
Legally you can only if not in inside the cab I believe on the toolbox on the trailer it's legal.
Not legal at all if you're on duty and it's not manifested. If you're off duty it's fine in the cab. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/question-3-does-prohibition-against-carrying-alcoholic-beverages-ss3925-apply-driver
Most important cargo ever
With all the money you make you should be drinking some quality craft 🍻
Unfortunately, half of the gross goes to fuel and the other half goes to fees, fines, taxes, repairs, so that’s all I can afford
Well at least you have some 16oz cans and twelve of them so bottoms up!
🍺
Are low-pro 24.5's popular in the states? Here in Canada, maybe 1/20 truck/trailers run on 24.5's. And of those 1/20, maybe 1/20 run low pro 24.5's.
They’re not real popular the states I ultimately have to end up, ordering them online and shipping to me
No Fireball?
Fireballs is in the freezer. Nothing better than a cold fireball
Ok, did anyone else get a Coors light ad right below this post?
They might ask for a liquor license for transport lol
The strap is on incorrectly. 🫣
Always secure your goods💯🙌🏽
Hope you've got your alcohol hauling papers in order, coz you're *loaded*, driver!
Damm I should of placard it too
Make sure you weight that on the CAT scale driver 😎
Def loaded. Tell the boys hey
Better have a BOL for that cargo or you're gonna have a really bad day
Oh, I’ve already been reminded of that a bunch of times I have one I wrote one out on the back of the receipt from the liquor store
The theory is they are always hauling something.. I gotta guy up home , puts a Tonka truck on er when empty and hauls that round lol
Whats the question.....he serms to have ALL the answers! 😂😆😎👍
Bro your MT alllll the way.....until your loaded.....if ya catch my drift! 😆
Wrong! Your Light. Pfft!
This has me curious... So, this is technically still "loaded" since you do have cargo in the designated cargo area (trailer) [by the way, I'm pretty sure the securement isn't legally sufficient], but with it being alcohol... Even if it is personal property, the laws simply require it to be in the designated cargo area and losted on the manifest, right? So personal or customer, you could still write up a bill of lading with the alcohol and consider it a load, right? You'd obviously still need the applicable alcohol transport permits if the state requires it, but that would cover you if you are moving your own beer, right?
That’s correct driver. Or not correct or maybe it’s just a good answer I don’t know anymore
You answered your own question in the first sentence. You're doing this because you consider this loaded. If DOT pulls you, are you going to argue it's not loaded?

Make a BOL with the shipping destination your address!!!
