200 miles on a 4 hr clock?!

Leaving a shipper to park is not traveling from en route lodgings, but traveling TO them.

 

No, the OP will have 4 damaged cases refused and thus will be laden

 

What does your 14 have to do with it? You don't have the hours. You are going to get there well before 8:00am. You will get ten hours in before your appointment.

 

You can do that as well.

What is personal conveyance?

 

some guidance examples that aren't even applicable? Well, ok.

 

Let's see, he's going from a receiver to a truckstop. I hope we can all agree on that.
He can pc either to/from terminal and home. That would be no.
He can pc from lodging to/from restaurant. That would be a no.

So, those two criteria are not met, how can he pc legally?

 

Hoofbeats is correct. ATL at midnight is easy. Complete the 10 hour before. Also, there are ways to get from shipper to nearby truck stop or vise versa without using clock. They were mentioned. Also, no, home time is not guaranteed in the day you planned. Sometimes it’s a day later. This happens at my company.

 

How is it not?

 

I was under the impression that the guidance was an example. That if you were completely relieved of duty you could pc from anywhere. As long as you were empty.
