    Personal conveyance can be used to go to Walmart etc, if at terminal for instance, I forget the limitation I think 30 minutes. The second part of the question, I would call and talk to safety and get authorization. One time, I was going to be 20 minutes shy of making it home. I called safety and asked what my options were, they allowed me to log off duty personal conveyance. I would just reiterate, get authorization, CYA.

    We are allowed 50 minutes. There are several canned “reasons” on the Qualcomm including store, shipper/rcvr told me to move etc. I used it once to get to a recvr, about 20 minutes used, nothing said. BUT they were adamant about abusing it and taking it away. By far the most realistic PC of any company I’ve seen.

    I was told by recruiter it’s 50 miles and then you get a warning... but it’s possible I misunderstood.

    It’s not allowed to be abused as liberally as it is at your current/previous employer.

    I now that someone from Safety during orientation came in to speak about it and somehow I just miss that part. The orientation they give is great really organized is just that in two day’s is a lot to absorb for me personally and taking also exams. (I’m not getting old:rolleyes: lol.) The ladies in the safety department are very helpful and want things done right. I have gotten messages saying your doing very good in your logs (not that I was doing something wrong) but please do this also. I like how this company operates no wonder they have been chosen as one of the best company to drive for.

    I wouldn't put stock in that 'best companies to drive for' thing...the former boss that ran my company into the ground (Moore Freight) is now the boss at a company called TLD logistics and their trailers have the 'best company to drive for' but it says for 2020...last time I checked, 2020 isn't even half over...and he is an A #1 big Richard-head...so if they can be one of the best companies, it must not take much to get on the list

    Without a doubt some companies are misleading people, but I can say that, in my personal experience, FCC is the real deal and do strive to achieve their outstanding position known by many drivers.
