Never. For the last 20 years on the job we had to had to have a class B CDL and the blood alcohol drops to .04. Some guys beat it in court by claiming it was a job requirement and they weren't assigned as engineer/apparatus operators. That was changed and it got ugly for some guys that just couldn't get it right. I know a guy that got a DUI just moving his car from a condo parking lot to the street. The cop observed him and his friends exiting a limo after a bachelor party. My wife did all the driving back then. She figured even of she got caught I (The Meal Ticket) could keep working. The first DUI was a 30 day suspension. 2nd was 6 months, 3rd was a termination.


Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Stupid always finds a way.
