    All this crap is invented by mega carrier/ ATA scum trying to stay competitive with the little man. They pay the lobbyists to restrict the trucking industry so they can make money. They have to make it hard on OO or small fleets, so they make money with slow trucks, inexperienced drivers, and paying for driver assisted technologies. Just listen to the ata on satellite radio promoting all this crap makes me sick.

    It doesn't solve the problem of your 34. Park it on the way home and if you're only home 24 hours, now you go to recap

    Isn't dropping a container off at an intermediate facility the same as dropping at a receiver?

    Company drivers listen to the rules of the company they work for. The company sets those guidelines. Some are 1 HR in a 24 HR period. Max.

    People might not know this. But company rules can trump fmsca rules. If they are tougher.

    This is the correct answer. Legally, PC is NOT your free ticket home.

    The officer in question was a totally cool guy to let you on your way. He could have shut you down.

    Minor nit pick.

    If home is where you started from, as opposed to company yard, you cannot PC home. This affects mostly O/O's, but some company drivers too.
    If the yard is where you started from, you can PC home, but only from the yard.

    This is also in the guidance.....
