Summary of Issue

ASPEN incorrectly notes an alcohol possession violation as 392.5(a)(2)-POS. The federal regulations note a violation for a driver possessing alcohol that is not part of a manifested load as 392.5(a)(3). (a)(3) is already in ASPEN, and should not be changed or removed. 392.5(a)(2)-POS should be moved from both ASPEN and Safetynet.

Justification or Need

ASPEN is noting a violation that is not supported by the regulations. This has been reviewed by the Driver/Traffic Enforcement Committee Chair, and they concur with this.

Request for Action

Please remove 392.5(a)(2)-POS should be removed from both ASPEN and Safetynet.
