Weed and beer cans?

Found some weed and empty beer cans at a truck stop.

Saw the egg post so figured I'd join in on the show and tell special.

I was riding my bike the other day and took a short cut through a Walmart parking lot around the backside of the building. As Im coming up the side of the building I see a guy standing in the very back corner smoking a joint (I could smell it). I didnt think much of it untill I rounded the corner to the back where I saw a truck and trailer parked.

Now there are no other cars around, so I know the dude didnt get there in a personal vehicle, he's in jeans, ball cap and a t-shirt so he's not an walmart employee or homeless, and he wasn't just out for a walk, cause who just stops and stand in a parking lot on their walk. Maybe I'm wrong cause I never actually saw him go to the truck but damn if I was, that dudes got some balls smoking behind his drop off less then 100ft from the truck.

As a cdl driver, this is absolute insane to me. If he is on his 34 or even a 10, he would be OK to drive but just the risk of being tested. Im not sure how you owner operators go about testing but I read about testing for my company and its 20% on a monthly basis for random screening.

You also get tested when involved in any incident. You can turn a non fault accident where someone hits your mirror in a parking lot into termination and unemployability.

Umm this is not true. There is however mandatory testing for some accidents but not all. Someone hitting your mirror in a parking lot is generally a civil issue to be fought by insurance companies. And most likely cops would refuse to even show up.

So not worth the risk.
