The driver, a 26-year-old Newport man, was taken to a local police station where he returned a positive evidentiary breath test of 0.240.
His license was immediately suspended, and he is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other driving offences.
The truck was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $2601.
