      Yup, and many states are trying to push bills through to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a CDL. They're already allowed to get a regular drivers license in almost 20 states. Our borders are wide open and these guys are willing to work for low wages. Once they're able to obtain a CDL, trucking will become another minimum wage job.

    Recently the Biden Administration changed the PC rules to let you go to a restaurant to get food. There is no restriction whether or not you are under dispatch, or whether or not you are advancing the load. This was a concession to the Unions who objected that drivers were having problems getting food.

  • @IRISH4486
    @IRISH4486 5 месяцев назад +5

    I use PC all the time. How I use it is to get me from my yard to a nearby truck stop to my pickup. I note in there that I am getting food. That’s all I note. Then when I get there. I go off duty. Fuel up. Get food and drive around the corner to pick up my load. I don’t advance the load in PC. Except I f I run out of hours on the highway and it’s not safe. I will park on the shoulder. Go off duty. Then into PC. And note Safety move.
    If I drop at a facility and want to drive home. I leave the yard. Drive to the truck stop. Go off duty or SB. For a while. Then if I want to go home I put into PC and drive home. I have had 3 level three roadside inspections in the last three years and never been questioned about PC use or abuse. I own my truck and business and use PC as a tool to operate my business responsibly and safely. It’s worked for me so far. I’m always reading up on the rules to try and educate myself and stay safe and legal. PC is a tool to be used within the parameters of the ELD. I use it as needed.

    The other 3/10 times of PC usage is for showers and food/restaurants. If you are in the middle of no-where towns, how can DOT argue how hungry you are or if you've been without a shower in the last few days.

    Basic rule is that you can’t use PC to gain any sort of advantage.
    - officer asks to move while out of hours
    -out of hours at shipper/Rec to go to nearest parking
    - arrive at customer early and they won’t let you park. You can PC to park but must be on drive line to come back
    - leave where you are parked in order to get food, meal, shower
    - using truck for non work reasons while at home
    - leaving a Rec empty to the nearest parking is ok even if you have hours as well

    Pretty much cops and safety departments will say: WHY DIDN'T YOU PLAN AHEAD #1 question ask.
    next: if you must drive OUT OF HRS, you have to note why you driving over your hrs. Otherwise it's a Violation.
    Yes driving over your hrs is violation BUT YOU HAVE NOTED WHY. GOT TO NOTED
    When you do find a safe place to park, your reset starts over . ME i put myself on sleeper so in 7hrs you can roll again , rather then start a new 10
    Pretty much stay away from PC , anyone looking at your ELD will just see it as you are trying to advance your trip.
    Unless you are really really off duty , stuck for a few days waiting then PC is OK to get around town.
    That whole unlimited PC is BS. Only owners who have there own Authority and business can do that.
    The rest of the drivers , company drivers, lease on to the company, lease purchase, each company has thier own rules to follow with PC.
    Some are 15 miles, 50 miles, 1hr, 2hrs, and some are unlimited but will be question WHY so many miles in a day or 2
    In the end, companies don't like PC, WHAT IF YOU ARE INVOLVED in a accident. Lawyers would take that data and say, DRIVER SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN THERE.

If you have droped a trailer at a dropyard and you ate going to return to drop yard you can PC the time for as long as you like and for as many miles as you want. I wish drivers would learn how to split hours. I do this all the time and truck for hours.

    These are the ONLY reasons you can use PC.

    - Time traveling from a driver’s en route lodging (such as a motel or truck stop) to restaurants and entertainment facilities.
    - Commuting between the driver’s terminal and residence,
    - Commuting between trailer-drop lots and the residence,
    - Commuting between work sites and residence.
    - Commuting from off-site location to residence
    - Time spent traveling to a nearby, reasonable, safe location to obtain required rest after loading or unloading.
    - Moving a CMV at the request of a safety official during the driver’s off-duty time
    - Time spent transporting personal property while off-duty.
    - Authorized use of a CMV to travel home after working at an offsite location.

    Personal Conveyance is easy to understand when you're not trying to cheat. It's when you run out/tight on hours and start looking for "how can I make this happen" that drivers get into trouble with it. And yeah, companies aren't big fans of PC because they can never instruct you to use PC - it becomes official work if they instruct you to drive somewhere. Even if it's to your house, if the company says to drive home and park the truck there it's driving and on-duty time and not PC because the company told you where to move the truck.
