Hogwash. At least if I get stopped at 69mph in a 70mph zone I have a rock-solid defense -

The answer is this: there is no defined time or distance. Unlike a speed limit, the determination is made at random by a DOT officer who may have been treated badly by his wife or superiors, or maybe the officer just doesn't like the way you look.
What a weak, weak system, embraced by weak men -
If concrete rules for this are eventually written I guarantee you won't be able to PC for 4 hours. As my granddad used to say, be careful what you wish for because you may get it.Wasted Thyme Thanks this. -
I can sneak back home and be in the grey area vs sneak back home and be in no driving allowed area.
The concept of PC in a commercial truck simply contradicts the purpose of HOS - limiting the time a person can spend behind the wheel. It should not matter if it is PC or driving on Duty, the activity is exactly the same. It 'fatigues' a driver the same way. They invented it and said it must be reasonable.
Gave a few examples... like the one that you can PC from a terminal to home but not from a receiver to home. The terminal could be 400 miles away and the receiver could be 50 miles away. So in which case would it be more reasonable to PC home?Wasted Thyme, Bean Jr. and brian991219 Thank this. -
