FMCSA Issues Clarifying Regulatory Guidance for Personal Conveyance

Then u tell the shipper or receiver to pound sand I'm completing my 8 or 10 hours since you guys decided to keep me here for 7 hours. Then u take the time to drive a truckstop of your choice instead of being under the gun to find a place in an hour when its midnight .

 

I was told that the personal conveyance rule will now allow you to use it even if your NOT unladen.

Is there any truth to this?

 

Well I #### sure didn't use even 1 second for the week before, during, and after the blitz.

 

I'm gonna be burning it up now. Bout time they made a rule with a little bit of common sense with it.

 

Unless I have an absolute need, I never open the door for someone's interpretation.

 

Amen.

 

Well said. Shippers and receivers now have no incentive to get drivers off property on a timely basis.

 

This is great news. I can't tell you how many fights I've had with receivers and shippers who kept me forever loading or unloading and when I ran out of HOS, they then say "well you can't sleep here."

Thank God. Now I can just drive until I find a rest spot. Works for me. They had no incentive to get done with us quickly anyway, at least this way I don't have to battle with them.

 

Luckily on the east coast there is a McDonald's just down the road with plenty of parking at 23:00. At least that's what shippers all seem to tell me.
