    You should have crept 5 miles an hour the rest of the way.

    I should clarify. The 12 miles was back to the yard where I was going to get my car and go home from there. Lol my company calculates the trips on the back hauls, back to the yard. So technically I would’ve been in the line of work. And also keep in mind I am new with this company. Not looking to get an HOS violation my third month being there. Next time I’ll for sure go on PC and go home.

    This guy is probably one of the reasons Prime is considering doing away with PC.

    From what I understand prime is going to restrict it where the driver is going to have to call into safety department to get it turned on call & when they stop to turn it off

    They’ll show this video when they tell everyone why they chose to do away with PC.

    Better if he just went into violation and added a comment why...

    Doesn't PC have to start and end in the same location? Point A to B then B back to A.
