Tirion Morris - 07/19/2021 - Arizona Central

Across Arizona, 91 brewing companies are currently churning out lagers, IPAs, stouts and sours.

That's why it's critical that every beverage distributor have some sort of distracted driver policy in place. But that's the easy, non-controversial part. The difficult part is enforcement, the tools available for which might make some drivers uncomfortable. That's because they involve in-cab cameras that can record the driver's every move, which can be perceived as a bit Big-Brother-esque.
