Stinking elogs had tp pull over for my 30 minute break

10 rest period can be started with PC. In my situation. I had to do a post trip inspection. 10 had to wait till that done.

The whole point is the peoplenet abolishing PC when any clock runs to zero. I had no choice.
I’m forced to go PC before any clock runs to zero. Otherwise it doesn’t even allow me PC miles to go to dinner while on my 10.

 

Try reading the thread to get it straight.

 

Under the FMCSA new ruling on pc miles and getting to safe haven. It’s obvious if someone does this. Then goes on duty inspection. Then off duty pc for a 10. Obvious.
I do think it reasonable to use that for 17 miles which cuts down HOS for the day considerably. That’s all it does is make the day shorter considerably for the driver. That is personal use only.

 

Not answering a closed ended question aimed at...
Let’s jump ahead of you. If all drivers ever did was to drive for 8 to 8.5 hours a day. There would be no logs. No rules. No discussion.

 

Oh and BTW... I get paid by the load. Doesn’t matter how much time or how many miles I drive. I still get paid the same.

 

Let’s say I did make it back to the terminal. Right at the time the 8 hour clock went to zero.
The PC taken off the screen by peoplenet.
I would have been forced to sit at the terminal for a half hour.
Then I could go on duty post trip inspection.
Then go off duty PC for my 10 and go to dinner.
