    While I agree, the office guy likely will not..
    I'm not saying it can't be defeated, but the "simple" ways are fairly well covered by the new regs.

    can somebody suggest me how to handle this situation with ELD. Arrived at receiver last night and marked sleeper. in the morning after delivery I will need to drive 15 miles to the truck stop. I have been in the sleeper 11 hours and my next pickup is 2pm. The receiver does not let me stay in their's yard. What to do , how handle this situation? If I drive it will be recorded and my 14 hours limit will decrease my driving time for today. I have heard that some ELDs don't record 15-20 miles on line 5. is it true or false?
     
    brar Thanks this.

    When you got empty you didn't know where your next load is. Wink wink. So when you are unladen you went in search of a hot meal, which happened to be at the truck stop 15 miles away. Is that an unreasonable distance? Up for debate. Once at the restaurant you were later dispatched on a load that picks up at 2 pm.

    Why would pc be disallowed in this situation? Assume the driver did not have the next load dispatched already. It's what I intend to do.

    I would use the Driving under Personal Convenience option. It will make your elog look legal. With the new rules, all miles and anything over 5mph is recorded. As long as you are not loaded, you can use PC.
     
    mhyn Thanks this.
