Driver Just Inspected by NY DOT...not accurate, what can we do?

Here is what the FMCSA says about Personal Conveyance..

Personal Conveyance

Hard for anyone here to make a judgement about your drivers PC use not knowing the exact details.

 

DOT officer's are at the bottom on the ranks for police. Most all of them are new and not well educated in trucking. There just a step above meter maids as Jiffy lube police. Police officers do not want a career doing DOT inspections. They want to become sargents, lieutenant, sherriff or Chife

Your best defense is carrying that little green book and maybe order that DOT inspections book with the pictures

 

Not in NY if it’s a Trooper you are getting just that a trained New York State Trooper. Not saying they don’t make mistakes but they aren’t some hack local cop playing big boy. Watch your step with NYSP they don’t play games. Our governor has run the state into the ground and is looking for any source of income he can find.

Dot the I’s and cross the T’s they are really picky now a days, or better yet just avoid NY.

 

Thanks. I gave up going back to NY back in 2012.

 

That’s how we were. We were trained a ton more than Deputies and city cops.

 

If he had driving time, why was he using PC?
Also what was he doing? Was he going to the movies from a truck stop, or was he going to a parts store to pick up parts for the tractor or what?

Without knowing what he was doing it's hard to say if the officer was wrong or not.

 

First of all let me put out my disclaimer.
*I'm not on ELD so I have no first hand knowledge*

I thought (and heard) personal conveyance varies from state to state ?

Basically what I heard was some states recognize PC and others do not.

True or false ?
