How does ELD work with a mixed used CMV?

If you advance your truck towards your next load PC, you are in violation. I don't care if you were using your truck to track Bison in the wilderness when doing it.

 

I'm not real knowledgeable on HOS rules but I think even if you could run PC to your next vacation destination you would have to show a 10 hr break before going back on duty driving if something popped up real quick

 

Pc is the only way to move a cmv when off duty but with limitations.


Good luck explaining things to a DOT officer who puts you out of service hands a you a ticket and tells you to fight it in court.

they love arguing and having the rules explained to them. Specially since interpretation’s of said rules are different from one officer to the next.


All I’m saying is even under pc, you still have to abide by the HOS rules. Because if you don’t and your first year audit comes around, you are definitely going to have to answer for all the pc you have done.

 

Ok I no longer believe any of this bull crap. No truck driver makes enough money to go "weeks" between loads burning 5.50 a gallon diesel to drive all over Gods creation in the meantime.

Do what the hell you want. I think you're full of it, anyway.

 

Just log anything not work related on line 1. You're off duty.

 

Just because we're having fun, the racing events. You will find that if you compete in a race with prizes with any kind of monetary value, at all, those prizes will turn those trips into "commercial" trips in the eyes of the DOT.

They love to bust rodeo competitors on that. Good for lots of tickets. Because it's all about safety, you know?

 

Wonder if you can license it as an RV with a second plate and use it when you need to?

 

Run as you like. Most likely, you will never be caught. Just think, there are two kinds of people in the world, "caught" and "uncaught". Those poor ######## in prison just got caught, we who are still running around free, we just ain't been caught. So, enjoy your journeys!!! Quit worrying about if and when you might get caught. And if you do ever get "caught", the odds are still in your favor.
