The point others are trying to get you to explain is this:
Why is the owner of the truck safer on PC than a company driver? Also, what is the difference if running on hour 69 and 71 to the store 5 minutes away?
As for ADC covering it, you do realize it only allows one to get to the next safe location to park. No mention of the regs if there is a hotel nearby, Also, as stated before, daycab drivers tend not to expect having to shutdown, so may need to go a get anything from underwear to a supply of medications they have at home.
You are saying that an o/o is safe going to get that, while a company driver isn't. That makes about the least sense I've ever read here, and I keep up on the Bad Company Forum...![]()
5mph and I am on drive line .. Is that standard now?

You strike me as someone who takes the stance of "I don't like it, therefore I don't do it and no-one else should either".
Go live your life and don't concern yourself with the legal, ethical and moral actions of total strangers. -

Why is it abuse when a company driver does it, and it's not abuse for an o/o to do it? -

If a company driver is abusing the PC option it would be fairly simple for whoever is in safety to notice it and then discipline the driver. Same as you would for working outside any of the other hours of service regulations. I’m home on the weekends and don’t have to 34 on the road and I still use PC to get things done that I need to do during the week.

As much as I enjoy using the technology, it's not perfect and should have been tested more.Redtwin and Paddlewagon Thank this.
