Can sheriff look beyond 34hr reset?

Go ahead sport. Use PC for whatever you want. If you get into any sort of problem, you will be taken hard up the ###. "Oh, my butt buddy uses it for hook-ups"! You will be taken and destroyed if you hurt someone, don't go that way. Please. Lawyer planet does not like our kind. Keep it clean.

 

That's a little harsh.

 

Does anybody actually use pc regularly? Seems like a murky grey area that from what ive seen with very limited understanding is more trouble than its worth .

 

I use PC quite often, bobtailing to and from the terminal / motel. Usually only 20 to 30 minutes per trip. Asked what I used it for to gave that answer, no problem.

 

I use it 3-4 times a week.

 

I use it all the time. Shippers/receivers always keep me late, I wind up running out of drive time and have to PC to a truck stop. Also PC home after my last delivery. Also PC to restaurants and food stores during my 34 resets. All legal.

 

I had a dedicated food delivery route and got to the last stop of my day with only 20 minutes left on my 14 hour clock. Took me about an hour and a half to deliver so when I was done, I would PC a truckstop less than 5 minutes away. Did that every single week for a couple of years. Never any issue.

 

PC(Off Duty,bobtail to motel,or ??
On Duty Driving the next morning to get trailer or load.
So easy,a caveman can do it!
Although I have used PC after running out of hours getting loaded,unloaded.Just to get to a legal parking spot for break.

 

Thanks for inputs , i still wonder if ya asked 4 diff troopers from diff states would ya get 4 diff answers about proper use of pc . Not trying to beat a dead horse here just wondering .

 

Yes you will get different answers because there are no regulations, only guidance from the FMCSA.
