He is functioning pretty well for being 6x over the limit. Tells me that this is pretty normal for him.
I've just started watching it and I figured click bait he must really be an alcoholic if it's 6 times over
They said 6 x over for a truck driver. (.04). He blew a 0.25
@@BrianAhearn8597 It's over six times the legal limit for a truck driver, which is .04. Different than the regular legal limit for other drivers.
@@RadioJustin Yeah I had forgotten all about that
@@candacevandeventer2456 yep!!
Dudes an actual alcoholic to be that coherent and not slurring his words during this whole ordeal…actually impressive lol
Ketosis
They found out later that this wasn't the guy. This guy was 100% sober.

This guy deserves an award for being the most compliant ressistant person ever.
which is why the cuffs on the ankle was bs and complete overkill, where the hell did he think the guy was going to go?
Super rare I assure you. That's why the call it liquid courage
It's called knowing your rights even if you are clearly in the wrong

That fact he drove from la to new mexico that drunk is terrifying
Done it before hundreds of times
@@prestonhanson501😂😂😂😂
Actually I feel more safe knowing he can be that intoxicated and make it there safe!
Trust me is not that bad, especially as a truck driver and once you know what ur doing ur chillin
It's a disease and sadly, we would rather see him 3 times over driving than driving in full withdrawal. You think denzel saves that plane if he's in withdrawal with shakes?
Not a chance in hell.
Same with a doctor etc.
It's crazy, I know.
The fact he parked the truck and made it to the destination without running over anybody is amazing
He didn't make it to the destination; the load did without him
This time. Next time he might not be that lucky or some innocent person. He knows right from wrong. No excuse.
@@sharoneuby-62 not condoning drinking and driving but high functioning alcoholics can actually drive drunk. You got people 20 years into their drinking and they haven't been in one accident or haven't gotten a single ticket.
@@sharoneuby-62 one of my close friends dad is so good with it , his wife has zero clue. You'd think drinking 2 sleeves of jim bean minis a day would get him caught but nope. That sht still blows me away. And he's still able to run his business successfully after 20+ years. You'd probably be amazed at how many high functioning addicts there are. It's always the people you'd least expect.
Well his job will be gone
I feel bad for this guy because being that coherent and 6 times over means his tolerance is extremely high and is more than likely a severe alcoholic..I pray he gets help and recovers 🙏🏻
He wasn't actually 6 times. Normally is .08 he was 6 times .04 which is 6 times the truck driver limit
@@rdavidsmith true but it’s still a problem. I truly hope the best for him
@@rdavidsmithI’m trying to understand the point in you saying that like you made a point when he is a truck driver lol
@@Taetrippnhe’s saying he was 3 times the legal limit to be driving, but 6 times the legal limit to be operating a semi. still completely terrible tho
I pray he goes to jail for 20 years to keep people safe.
That's actually pretty scary to think he was that drunk behind the wheel of that big truck
He's most likely stimulated using other drugs. When you mix alcohol and stimulants like meth cocaine mdma you don't feel drunk
It's terrifying no matter what vehicle he is operating.
Car or semi, drive sober, and without distractions. The life you save, could be your own!
That Budweiser will take the “J” letter out of your alphabets every time 🤣🤣🤣
75 hours later and they’re still debating if he’s willing to take the breath or blood test 😂 sheesh. I was ready to climb through the screen and take the test for him.
Yeah that was FRUSTRATING lol
Listen to me. This is important.
Legend has its now 150 hrs n still debating 😂😂😂
But I been takin mouth wash.
@@JuanRodriguez-bc5jd aww, I was gonna say that.
I’ll tell you guys, as an alcoholic myself once you get to a point you can basically be as coherent as a sober person while totally smashed. This guy almost pulled it off. It’s not a good thing and I’m definitely trying to quit.
Step one: admission 👍🏻
People can tell its pretty obvious they just ignore it.
Nah, people can tell, not everyone, but anyone who has been around enough drunks can tell 🤷🏻♂️
He did not almost pull it off. Bro had a problem with the letter J
ive been sober for a while now if ya need a friend hit me up bro its tough but you shouldnt do it alone
"you are under the influence of driving under arrest" lmao is the cop drunk too?
😂😂😂😂 nah he tired of reading that shit had to read it 6 times 😂
Lol
Long hauler here, and I have no words. So glad this POS danger to the public will not be in the seat again, hopefully ever.
Typical racist
I've been in this Port Of Entry many times for DOT inspections, every officer I've had acted like they were mad at the world. This guy probably got the nicest officer there.
No doubt man. I use to blow by all New Mexico scales. Definitely the worst ones enroute to California
I ran the road for 20 yrs but stopped when elogs went into effect. Where is this port at? I don't remember ever seeing this one
Its on I-40 eastbound just before Gallup
hahaha....or they wouldn't have put it on YT.
@@bluesmoke8826 Truckers passing through Phoenix
This is the scariest thing about running a trucking company. The guys are out on the road for weeks at a time with no in person supervision and you have to trust that they won't do something like this. It's nerve racking.
Maybe they should put those breathalyzer machines inside the vehicles before they can turn them on.
@@MrMisterChristianevery trucker would freak out and claim it's communism or some other braindead response.
A commercial vehicle that is owned by a company absolutely should have something like that to prevent intoxicated operators.
And .04 is legal? So they could technically just have a keg strapped into the passenger seat and drink 12oz every hour to stay buzzed at .03 and its legal.. wtf lol. You're driving! How about the legal limit being 0.00% sheesh
“You know I’m gunna beat this case right” blows an insane .25 lmao
When I used to be a dock loader, we once had a driver show up to be loaded that was clearly tweaking out of his mind. Had to call the cops, can you imagine the danger of a giant semi truck being driven by an impaired person?
Can you imagine how many fork truck operators are high AF.
It's definitely a crazy thing to have out of control
Man that was me. Whats up. How u been 😛
@@robertlawler1387much less important and much less dangerous
Most of them are either high, drunk, or sleep deprived. I've seen it while working otr throughout the country.
That cop was confusing me, and I haven't drank in 2 years.
Hats off to the officer. Sounds like he’s a great father with the patience he has
Goodbye cdl
he was patient cause the only way he could get the charge to stick is if convinced him to take a breathalizer test
Patient? Drunk dude gave clear answers numerous times and the cop continued repeating same things
He was an ass. The guy told him. He had a leg that was less than 100%. Then he comes back with, you can drive a truck-you can hop on one leg. The driver shouda said unless you're an MD, my medical history is my business.
He seemed racist
Its just Insane he was that drunk driving that monster rig figure at 70-80 Miles an hour that far, thank God He didn't kill anyone including himself
Maybe 65mph
I'm a truck driver and this is normal. Go to a truck stop and look in the trash, beer and liquor bottles everywhere.
What's that a out 4 to 6 oz of beer?
@@willjones6660 naw
..it ain't normal. Just a few that make bad decisions.
It’s sad when the drunk driver lives
The guys who reported him saved many lives I honestly believe
Ehhhh… doubt it… but do I want him driving…no… but did they really save lives … maybe… this guy most likely has hundreds of thousands miles under his belt like this ..just sayin
He wasn't reported at all. He probably would have made it to his destination just fine. The only reason he was caught at all was because he passed a scale at the state lines, was called in for a DOT inspection of his equipment- had to talk with Department of Transportation cops ( DOT) and they quickly picked up on his deficits. Had he been left alone, he probably would have made it exactly where he was going without incident. He's an alcoholic alright- but one used to making a paycheck. As an aside- I'll agree, in his state, he had no business behind the wheel. Any disciplinary actions from his job pale in comparison to criminal convictions.
Such as what they call in the trucking industry - ''a service failure'' , ie, being late for a pickup or delivery. You may get a few dirtbag loads after that. But, believe me, no company wants to get a call from any DOT cops saying '' we've arrested your driver and, impounded your equipment because - your driver is hammered." He should have just slept it off- took his lumps and gone on with life. Many people struggle with alcohol dependency. They work in ALL fields. This guy, while probably used to drinking- should NOT have been behind the wheel.
Nearly half the nation are convicted felons for victimless non-violent offenses who are PERMANENTLY BANNED from possessing a firearm or even a single bullet, for life!
(There are far greater non-violent felons than violent felons that no longer have God-given 2nd amendment gun rights!)
(Example; DUI offenses without an accident!) The ETERNAL felony is based on what could have happened rather than what actually did happen! (Ironically, they still have voting rights!)
GUN RIGHTS need to be BANNED from everyone and not just NON-VIOLENT white-collar offenders!
VOTE to PERMANENTLY BAN GUN RIGHTS, and the NRA for fairness in EQUALITY ... (When non-violent felons can't have 2nd amendment rights, then nobody should!) PERIOD!
The "do-gooder" gun owners shall eventually destroy the 2nd amendment on their own, by self-righteousness!
What part of shall not infringe do the "do-gooder" gun owners not understand!
Nearly half the nation are convicted felons for victimless non-violent offenses who are PERMANENTLY and ETERNALLY BANNED from possessing a firearm or even a single bullet, for life! (Self-righteous gun owners shall eventually lose their guns & bullets too!)
FACT: There are more non-violent than violent felons without their God-given gun rights thanks to self-righteous do-gooders! (Non-violent felons can still vote, and abolishing "guns & bullets" from the backstabbing "do-gooders" is exactly how they'll continue to vote, in record numbers, for EQUALITY!)
ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL!!!
Being on the road isn’t for most people, very difficult and lonely for most people.
The defeat in homie eyes when he asked him to count from 47 to 32 backwards killed me
As a former functioning alcoholic I can see what this man is going through. I never wanted help, I just wanted to keep drinking and functioning every morning. It’s a strange thing when u can drink considerable amounts of liquor and still feel and appear sober, from my experience that’s when you know there is a problem.
same. Luckily i only limit to the weekends. 24 pack down no problem
The worst part I experienced was when I knew the next day I didn't have to worry about consequences because I knew I could repeat it. All logic and daily life went through the window. It became normal to skip Monday's at work, then Tuesdays, etc. A litre of vodka a day would be easy, then it was 4 days completely wasted, 4 days recovering. Repeat and repeat. I never wanted help either, I just wanted to be drunk, not for the partying or tipsy feeling, I would just go to the store, buy a litre and lay in bed. It is a messed up place to be when you can't remember the past days but assume it's normal. Worst thing was, after a couple days sober, I would be fully functioning and not even think about it until the next day I felt ready to drink. It ruined a relationship and nearly cost me my career which I'm lucky I have still
@@dann756 I can relate to this a lot. I skip about every Monday and “wfh”. Wake up sat and keep drinking to avoid hangover or drink myself out of one. Wake up Sunday and repeat. And yes the blackouts just became normal.
Same. It gets scary when you get to the point where you can drink yourself sober. I always thought that was bs until it happened to me. Stay strong
@@THEMONEGASQUE I can’t do that anymore. Used to do it in college. By 5am feel sober again.
Man that deep breathe before the test was hilarious 😂
Had to go back and watch it 😆 🤣
the fact he did it twice was spectacular
He shrieked he thought he already took the test. 😆
😂 I was tripping off that on the low.. took a long breather like it was hard work!! Know he a ole head!!
This man aint neva get all the way to 32 from 47 an say 31 then said 32 again lmaoooo im cryinn
His tolerance is sky high. It’s a sign of a problem. I hope he gets help and stays off the roads.
Not really. I see a lot of .26 and they generally have the same symptoms.
Extreme alcoholic. This is the best that could happen to him to take off the road and start a new life. He seems to have the character to be able to turn around, now he has been given a shake up call.
Holy moly, even the officer is having difficulty reading the breath test statement...
Truckers passing through Houston
My thoughts exactly. I was wondering if he was impaired as several times he had trouble with his words. He probably be arrested if he was behind the wheel
After he read all that then he asked him what he said I started dying..
Im about to tell you something very important.... you are under the influence for operating a motor vehicle under the influence
🤨🫢😆
But he initiated said twice that there would be NO consequences for refusing breath test
You can tell this man isnt the brightest star in the sky even sober
0.25 is less than 0.04, right?

I dont think anyone grows up planning to be a alcoholic. Life is just weird bro. Wish you the best my brother. Trying to get over that struggle myself. Talking to people just doesn't do anything but give people a reason to talk about u behind your back.
Damn, man. I feel that.
Take it a day at a time. A second at a time. I’m goin on a little over 2 years was a alcoholic for 9 1/2
And fuck what people say no one’s perfect
i havent drank in over 18 months. AA meetings help alot
@klew1224 iam praying for you!
.24 is very high. I was stationed in England, in the US Air Force, back in the '70's, and our NCO Club put in a breathalyzer in, so you could test yourself to see if you were safe. Had the exact opposite of what it was intended to do. Dudes would blow a BIG number, than scratch it into the side of the machine. There were competitions. It got rapidly out of control.
OMG! Poor guy. He was just trying to help.
Get enough guys in a room and everything quickly turns into a competition. 😆
@@alexwhite6939 - Yep. Hundreds of single airmen, within walking distance of the club. Living rent free, no utilities, and a meal card that enabled to eat free anything you wanted, four meals a day. No cars, or insurance, or gas. Literally nothing to spend money on except uniforms, haircuts, and alcohol.
I hit .25 about 4 hours after i stopped drinking one night, was 13 at the time cops found me blacked out behind toys R us of all places lol Guess they called for the ambulance before testing me so they had to pay for the ambulance and not my parents. At lest now i have no urge to drink and even after just one i am done. Can't even go near whiskey it was a bottle of wildturkey we had that night.
@dennissvitak148 And nothing on the line but their lives. How easy, right!?!!
"thats because the mouth wash" LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO
I know I nearly laughed at that too
This cop is even confusing me…You CAN refuse, you can’t refuse….THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Have you not noticed the confusing verbiage that they use every time they get to that point of the procedure?
You can refuse. And when you do you'll be arrested. The breath test is mandatory and has to be done before the optional test. There is no option for a stand alone blood test.
@@williebeemin22 for cdl its mandatory that you take it or you loose your cdl
@@arpadcsorba2053 Test are not mandatory and you can refuse it all but don’t do sobriety test neither and than cops don’t have a case!Sobriety tests are designed as evidence collection for cops!
It is confusing verbiage. The majority of drunk driver videos I've seen refuse except this guy noticed every time the cop said, "OK you're refusing..." He never once said he refused and he wanted the process to be conducted strictly via blood chemical analysis.
Dude was so drunk he gave the officers second hand alcoholism 🥴
He made the decision to do this but obviously this man is dealing with a lot and I hope he gets the help he needs. My prayers go out to him.
not me. He's a moron. U can't drink at work. That's stupidity! U go pray for him.. which I highly doubt u did. Ur all talk
@@vaekkriinhart4347 no one asked you a thing.
Im not knocking you for wanting to pray for him. How can you tell he's "obviously" dealing with something? You can tell all of that by a FAILED sobriety test and SLURRED speech? You do know that ppl also get drunk and high fun, and it has nothing to do with "dealing with something"? I'm sure he accepts your prayers if he could.

Hed would have passed the breathlizer test.
I drove for 32 yrs,…..This is so ridiculous reckless on so many different levels. Thanks for getting this guy out from behind the wheel of a semi tractor trailer!
I drove 44 yrs smoked weed since 1976 and drove in Montana in the ice and snow everyday. I don't smoke now. . 80% of drivers smoked weed in the 70s and 80 s. They were the best drivers in the last 50 yrs

@@aaronbrutus2654 But they do get into deadly accidents. On this one they found THC in the blood of the driver; 'Six teenage girls were killed after their car collided with a semi truck on the highway in Oklahoma Tuesday'.
He was pretty coherent for the amount he had, but you could tell...the most dangerous thing you can do, is fall asleep or pass out, operating an 80,000 pound vehicle.
I want you to listen to me, I'm about to tell you something very important
@@frederickhoneychurch501I’m listening
I disagree. He was blacking out and having trouble remembering basic things like part of the alphabet. When driving a commercial vehicle, you need to be 100% able to focus.
He said he'd been driving for two weeks - not sure what that meant - two weeks straight on the road or what breaks he had? Yes in that condition he could just pass out, especially if his company is pushing deadlines, and he is not getting enough rest or sleep.
It’s not the worst thing.. He could have been operating an 81,000 pound vehicle .
It's scary to think they're out there driving these big rigs. God help us.
"I've been doing the mouth wash" 💀 this guy has me on the floor
“You are under the influence for driving under the influence”
Case dismissed, nice one officer
They need to get another officer to test him lol.
Lmao
Yep, that officer is a complete mess and has no business doing these tests. He can't keep his own crap straight.
funny, I just made the same comment before seeing this one 😆
@14:14
That’s 100% a case dismissed right there
Big ass load on that flatbed, and driving drunk. SMH. Dont ever let him get behind a tractor again.
I've been sober for 26 years and can't begin to say how grateful I am...every day.
Recovery is possible. It changes everything for the better. Fgs don't drive drunk.
Can you imagine a semi coming at you with someone 6 times the limit 🤯🤯🤯😢
Yea I can it happens daily. Think about all the people that don’t get caught. Duh
6x.04
.04 is a federal standard for CMV. You could reach that with a bear or two. So in the grand scheme of things it’s not as much as you think but at 6x the CMV limit.. dude definitely shouldn’t have been driving.
Alcohol is a helluva addiction. We just had a cop total his cruiser drunk on patrol. It affects everyone
@@PennsylvaniaDualSport I don’t think he was close to 0.24 and most of the time those people are passed out at the wheel. I think he did what police tell drivers all the time NOT to do and he used mouth wash which has more alcohol in it. Made him blow wayyyyyyy higher than he actually was. He honestly might be able to beat the charge tbh because of that 1 specific reason.
Don't worry, only 50% off the trucks "coming at you" are on meth
@@AZ-ss4jo nah. People are different. I've driven at higher than .24 many times.
He literally stopped and couldn’t go past “I” then pleads his case….”I know my alphabets Mann…..”😂😂😂….he’s a boss for being 6x’s over and functioning like this though
That deep breath killed me😂
I feel like the Implied Consent law is written so vaguely it’s also confusing the officer trying to administer the test😂
Goodness, this officer literally has the patience of a Saint…. Thank goodness for his professionalism.
It’s not being patient. If the cop just gave up and said ok then you refuse a lawyer could have a very good chance of getting this charge thrown out by saying my client never said no to the breath test that’s why he kept asking him in the exact manner he did.
"Sir , you´re under influence for driving while arrested"
I am!? Ba I culdn't ewen tauch tha weeeel lol
"What's your highest grade level" GED..... Still didn't answer the question.
The alphabet F to T. His answer was, "I knows my alphabets"
Bro tricked him into even taking the breath test by putting the shackle on him before asking him again. That's literally forcing him to take the test or go to jail. When it says you can refuse the test with no punishment.
He is already under arrest for dui. He can refuse the test without consequence for the refusal. Meaning no additional charges for that refusal. However the implied consent law, which is signed at the time you receive your driver license, has a stipulation that if you refuse, your license is suspended for 1 year. So there is a consequence for refusal, it is just weirdly presented. But they have to read it out a certain way because of the legal aspects.
Even if you refuse all breath/blood tests, you still get arrested for dui. I've seen a dui video where they got a warrant for the suspect's blood after they refused both tests.
There are different rules for commercial license holders.
To clarify, he blew a .25, not a .40. For a truck driver, the legal limit is .04 so yes, he is six times over but it isn't .40, which is near fatal for some.
As far as myself, being a 28 year veteran truck driver. Thank God this guy was caught! My hats off to these troopers. All it takes is one bad seed to make the entire garden look bad. Also too, I'm from a family of alcoholics, I seriously hope he gets help. Thank God again that he didn't kill anyone.
That is exactly what I imagined, because the way he asks it over and over again clearly shows that he wants to find a way to escape and the only one he found most viable was the mouthwash excuse, which did not work because it seems that the officer already knew that. 😁
You 28 lol how you a veteran truck driver
haha theres so many bad apples in the truck driver pool its absurd.
Making a living is more important than drinking
You just didn't get caught and put on blast for your sin. Be grateful

@@DavesRange Doesn't really sound like he was bragging....
I'm a retired truck driver and I have seen drivers like him. I told them that if they have to drink hard liquor before driving a rig then they need to find another profession immediately. That is obviously too dangerous and irresponsible.
He said “ that don’t sound right”😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
To be fair, all of the talk about refusing breath and blood tests and whether or not there are penalties for refusing either test is really hard to understand when you're hammered drunk. 🙃
I was impressed
He should have refused field and just did a blow test. he would be better off.
Yeah for real. I understand why it’s so technical but after the first time or two the cop could’ve dumbed it down
Bro I died on “my eyes red from driving for two weeks” 😂😂😂

The way he took that deep breath you would have thought he was trying to blow NM off of the map. 😂
This officer is so nice and respectful. Treated the guy like a human. Called him sir. Same respect he would give his peers. Just all positive things to say about this encounter.
I know there all just so respectful and nice wow what a shocker!!
@@Noodles3740 you’d be surprise numb nuts
Naw he is tricking him. He’s agreeing to be blood tested and the cop was all for it, but now it’s breath test or nothing mixed with threats of losing his license in NM.
Well besides lying about the breathalyzer being able to tell the difference between the alcohol in the mouthwash and beverages lol. Also acting like he has to answer the breath test before knowing all his rights, he doesn’t have to answer the breathe test question before getting the rights involved with the blood test.
Unfortunately this officer is using kindness to disguise. The driver is obviously correct that a blood test will show a more accurate representation of his alcohol consumption. And the officer is obviously lying that the machine can tell the difference between mouthwash or beverage. Now, would the mouthwash still affect him this far after usage? No. After a couple minutes all residual alcohol wow have evaporated. So, with that in mind, he was going to fail the test regardless. What was the point of lying to the driver and purposely making him more confused with the situation?
I hope he gets well. I'm a recovering alcoholic and it's tough, and the man obviously knows that. He needs a 30 day stay at rehab. Changed my life.
Agree with re-hab, but a good impatient facility would recommend at least forty five day, reason being thirty days is just becoming sober. God Bless and find your higher power AA/NA saves lives(Family, Careers and Futures)

@@jeffrepeta8052 Spoken like a devoted 12-step cultist.
Stop feeing bad for people that put others lives in danger
Incredibly coherent for 6x the legal limit. This guy is a chronic drinker.
This officer has the patience of a Saint. Very professional..
I have so much anxiety that I would fail the sobriety test even when I was stone cold sober.
Don't take it. It can only be used against you.
Nobody has ever taken that test and been let go after. Police won't give you any awards, commendations or be so impressed at your walking they would just let you off. You don't have to do it, aha.
You would have to take the test on the calibrated machine, in the police station, and pass on that.
If you did pass the machine but now made mistakes for the field sobriety test, they would have additional evidence they can use against you. For being under the influence of something, etc
I see a neurologist and they make me do the nystagmus test and everytime I do it all I think about is all the the videos I have seen of people failing so hard on that but at least I know I could pass that one even when sober the other ones probably not but I have a lot of health problems so the walking and balancing is not a strong suit of mine
If you've drank a bit the night before, it's totally possible to fail the next day.
It's mostly about following directions. They know lots of people cant do this shit stone cold sober. If you notice though, when people are drunk they almost never follow the directions correctly even if they are "physically capable" of performing the task. Like for the counting one, the guy counted lower than he needed to. For the finger tip to thumb test, he forgot how many times he was supposed to do it and thought he had to do it on both hands.
@@ghg789987 I mean you have to drink a lot and have it be the next morning then yea but either way it's still driving under the influence it don't matter when you got under the influence
This officer might as well explain how to build an atomic bomb and launch it off on a rocket. I love how the suspect becomes some kind of scientist at the police station.
Actually terrible breath test instructions. Officer says it’s “required” and he has the option of a separate test. But in realty it’s “you can refuse the breath test but then you lose your license no matter what. If you take it and flunk, you can take a blood test.”
man i thought he was .48, i thought no way, this man is an animal you guys got me
This gives a whole new meaning to 'who's on first'!!
My favorite part of his answering was " I don't know how to drive in New Mexico". This guy needs rehab badly. The last thing highways need is a hammered CDL truck driver.
FINALLY someone who doesn’t move their head when they do the finger test
yeah homie is sober, something is up here. he must have a medial condition or something thats causing his body to make an alcohol
@@bigboicremeThey just try a take a Blaxk man off the road
"I know my alphabets." Bruh he was so drunk he couldn't say it forward. That's crazy.
The best part was the reading of the rights for the tests. 😂😂
Unfortunately we know they're out there but one DUI while driving any commercial vehicle should permanently disqualify anyone from holding a CDL
dude drove from LA to New Mexico like this. that's insane
Scary
I mean for an alcoholic that's nothing. He honestly probably just felt a bit buzzed
He wasn't that drunk 🤣
He was sober in la, he was drinking on the way
That's crazy 🤪
As a functioning alcoholic myself, I can tell he had drinks prior to this interview and you literally start to see the effects of alcohol come through as the field sobriety test is performed.
💯💯💯
I just want to say that I have the utmost respect for you. Someone that acknowledges and accepts that they have an addiction is very rare.
Horse is so much more enjoyable than booze, and the side effects (apart from death via suppressed brainstem breathing reflex) are less harsh. Sounds like you simply traded one addiction for another worse one.
@Sheri Wing. Whether you look at addiction as a medical disease or as a moral failing, there is nothing particularly laudable about admitting to something that is eminently clear to anyone who knows you. In fact, once a person admits publicly to having an addiction, the continued substance use becomes objectively shameful.
It certainly does not require being an ethanol addict to be able to pick up on the ridiculously obvious signs that this person has recently imbibed a huge amount of booze. In fact, I would venture to assert that functional alcoholism does not confer any special knowledge or gnostic insight.
That whole interaction in the office was hilarious I think he had the cop wondering if he was drunk himself
😆😆😆I would😆😆😆
If I was the guy I would have asked are YOU DRUNK OFFICER
😆😆😆😆😆. That’s true seems like the cop didn’t know which way was up. He was pretty sharp to be so intoxicated.
🤣🤣
🤣That would be a helluva plot twist, drunk officer trying to test drunk truck driver😂
Who else wanted to say “J! It’s f*cking J!!!!” 😂💀
Then proceed with the “I know my alphabet man”🗿
Is there anything scarier than someone driving a semi truck drunk?!? And not just drunk but 6 times over the limit!!! I pray to God he was fired & lost his CDL license!!!
Wow that's really scary. Being experienced in driving trucks I know how dangerous it is for someone impaired to be behind the wheel off a truck.
One thing I know in life. . This officer is going to tell me something very important
If this guy is drinking or have booze in the truck he should be arrested immediately. He not got his brains in gear. He thinks the longer he delays the test the more sober he will be
the look on the drivers face when he pulled out the crown pouch HAHAHA
This man is only the icing on the cake. There’s a lot of drunk truck drivers out there on the loose 😂😂
Probably.
That’s not even funny pretty scary tbh
Exactly
There’s a lot of dumbass people out there in cars doing a lot worse. Cutting off big trucks, brake checking, texting and driving, etc
The fact that he drove a commercial truck like that, drunk as hell just ticks me off. I hope he learns his lesson, gets some help and NEVER gets to drive a commercial truck again. This makes us all look bad and I commend the officer for his patience and for taking this guy off the road.
His cdl should be indefinitely revoked/suspended
@@npc_retired exactly. According to dmv, if you get a dui or anything, u lose your cdl.
@@sharoneuby-62 he can beat this case with the right lawyer. I got a dui while driving a rig back in 2015 and I started a box trucker business right after.. he said the right things just wish he would have agreed to the blood test only and stalled them for a few hours and them pigs woulda found nuthin
@@jacoboreilly7526 lol, you think that even ‘a few hours’ would’ve made a difference for a CDL driver who blew a .25? lol, you really do sound like just the kind of genius that’d get a DUI while driving a big rig. Hopefully next time you’re a drunk hauling tons of metal and cargo 55+ an hour and f-k up it’s only your own mangled corpse twisted in with sheet metal and shards of glass. You’ve got to be a real scumbag to drive a big rig drunk (whether the ‘pigs’ catch you or not,) but to get on the internet and gloat about getting away with it, well that kind of thing takes a special kind of terrible human being.
the cop doesnt seem to understand that dude didnt use the mouthwash. He took the mouthwash and he been doing the mouth wash
Bro passed his CDL test but can’t do decimal math 😬
6 times over. Holy shit, this guy can hold his liquor.
He blew a 0.25%. It's six times the limit for _commercial vehicle drivers,_ which is 0.04% and not 0.08% like it is for the rest of us. Yeah, 0.25% this is still pretty drunk, but a functional alcoholic will look and feel pretty damned sober at this point.
@@TurdFurgeson571 yeah you’re right, further on in the video when he blew and the officer explained, it made more sense.
@@ssgviper7147 Yeah he's f'd for sure. I think it's usually a suspension for a year, but even after it's a nightmare trying to get back on the road if you don't know anyone.
@TurdFurgeson571 the problem is that he will be reeking of booze. Even if he feels good to drive the smell of booze will get you fucked
@@GSM92 Yeah, usually.
I've undergone an inspection in that very spot. All the officers I encountered there were extremely personable, professional and courteous. This video confirms that. If anyone is interested, he was driving a truck for Iron Horse Freight Logistics out of Houston, TX. Don't blame me for outing, the company name and DOT number are right there on the side of the truck.
I'm Glad that you pointed that out YEP your right ✅️
What does the company have to do with it?
@@conversationswithcory3730 homosexual proclivities
They have nice-ass trucks 👀
While no one has the right to drive drunk, I have to say it’s so refreshing to see such a cooperative and likable person just following instructions, no screaming, no insults to the officer, no swearing, no kicking, no “I can’t breathe.” I hope he ends up OK and is able to keep his job.
As an ex Semi-truck driver myself he was probably fired on the spot or Whenever He got back to headquarters I think minimum penalty is 2 years suspended license. All these States are different. And it also depends on what you're actually hauling in your semi Like Hazardous material This dude is a certified idiot. You gotta give yourself at least 48 hours before even attempting to drive But that's just me.
This will be on his DOT clearing house record. He’s not gonna be driving a truck anytime soon. If ever.
He ain’t keeping his job and I hope he doesn’t nobody should be driving an 18 wheeler while drunk you can definitely kill a lot of people he’s lucky he didn’t
@@DeeRussdude was completely functional. You definitely sheltered and don’t know the real world if you didn’t already know that about 80% of truck divers do the same thing buddy
@@kalebanth8323 I bet you think 80% of all cops are bad cops too right? You’re the one sounding naive and sheltered.
This officer deserves a medal for having patience. I was getting so irritated
Thank god you’re not a cop.
Great police officer
Sound like a child. A spoiled kid who doesn't get his way every single time. Wasn't that serious to get irritated over.
After the 3rd time I would have put body cam on sleep mode and would had explained it to him my way 😎
He has a metal already
Don't let him ruin it for the rest of us, there are good and bad apples in every profession.
Right, I been driving over 7 years now sober lol. People will take a video like this and assume all truckers do it.
Most truck drivers these days are completely careless, and I'm talkin 70% or more. Speeding, not moving over to allow motorists to safely merge, tailgating and on drugs just to name a few.
Yes. Perfectly logical statement. Just as watching a video of a person driving a car getting arrested for dui makes everyone think every single person driving a car is hammered. Wtf are you talking about?
@@RandyBoBandy. Nope. It sucks we are held at a higher standard when it comes to driving because of the size of our vehicle. The mistakes a everyday person can make we can make but it'll be much more outrage that a trucker made that mistake rather than a ordinary person on the road in a smaller vehicle.
@@SkinnyDaDon00 too bad cops are not held to a higher standard
It just makes me think one thing, how many hundreds of trips has he taken this drunk? Just wow dude
I've never known a truck driver that didn't use drugs while driving and I've known several over the years.
@@mattsowder7978 well you dont know many. We drug test all the time in my trucking company.
@@pokerman9108that doesn’t mean anything. I been driving 10yrs. I see drinking and driving daily some of the truck stops sell alcohol.
@@Beachboy562 they all sell it as they're corner stores, you sound ridiculous saying most of the 4 million truck drivers on the road are drunk. we have to stop at scales and interact with police a lot, we're randomly drug tested.. if what you say is true, the numbers would reflect it. It sounds like you don't know the industry very well....
@@pokerman9108 I didn’t say every trucker but it’s a lot. That smoke or snort drugs and drink every industry has a dark side. I be parked at the Pilot or TA and I see with my own eyes drivers getting in the rig with 12 pack or 6 pack of beer daily.
