    Can't run on a paper log unless the electronic is out of service.

    Actually it can.

    From the PC link above...
    Question 26: Under what circumstances may a driver operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) as a personal conveyance?
    Guidance: A driver may record time operating a CMV for personal conveyance (i.e., for personal use or reasons) as off-duty only when the driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work by the motor carrier. The CMV may be used for personal conveyance even if it is laden, since the load is not being transported for the commercial benefit of the carrier at that time. Personal conveyance does not reduce a driver’s or motor carrier’s responsibility to operate a CMV safely. Motor carriers can establish personal conveyance limitations either within the scope of, or more restrictive than, this guidance, such as banning use of a CMV for personal conveyance purposes, imposing a distance limitation on personal conveyance, or prohibiting personal conveyance while the CMV is laden.

    Basically it still has to be 100% personal, kicked out of shipper/receiver, or direction of LEO. Laden vs. Unladen no longer matter. It was added in mostly for stuff like box trucks that can't leave the trailer behind, but it's available for everyone.

    Sorry guys for being quiet. I talked to.my company about it and they got me straight on it. Anyway, for a bit of good news. The last load I dropped off was delivered four hours early. I arrived about forty five minutes early for the load I'm picking up now. What y'all think about that?

    Dang, I didn't realize the can of worms I would open. Anyway, it all worked out in the long run. And one more thing, next time I have a question, I will just figure it out for myself. No offense but too many people said things that all ran together in a big mess. Nothing bad just a little bit much for my puny little brain to process all at one time. :confused::eek::biggrin_2551::confused2:
