Completely empty, headed to residence, on PC

Just because you don't like the answer, doesn't mean the answer isn't creditable.
Plus you were in the wrong anyway, why keep pushing it?

 

Just because you don't like the answer that there is no hard numbers, doesn't mean it's an invalid answer. All it means is you don't like the answer.

 

There is no limit. If you want to use your truck to take your fishing boat camping, and it's 500 miles away, should there be a limit? PC is just that, you're using your truck as your personal conveyance.

 

Agreed.

 

Every law is left up to the officer on what he wishes to enforce. That's just life, and has been since very likely the first officer came into being. Same reason for no citation. The officer didn't want to bother.
It doesn't make what you did legal. It just means you got away with running illegally.

 

I already posted why you were illegal. Time limit doesn't matter for what you did. DOT states you cannot unload and then go home on PC. Doesn't matter if you or I agree with it, and as it happens I don't. What matters is it's not allowed, and pretty black and white not allowed. No interpretation needed.

Same thing here as your speeding example. The officer decided not to enforce the very clear guidance on this.

1 minute or 100 hours doesn't matter as any use of PC for going home after unloading isn't valid, thus not legal.

 

The company I’m leased on with as an O/O ( not sure if they have the same rules for company drivers ? ) have told me that I can PC home as long as

A) I am not stopping for fuel

B) Plan to be home at least 34 hours and

C) do not have a load booked that’s near my home

If I’m delivered and close on hours I will PC home
If I have the time and plan to be home the 34 then I just let the clock run
