Is this considered personal conveyance when parking at home?

Yes,as long as you're not advancing towards a load.

 

You should be asking your company what their policies are, not what internet strangers think.

 

Fmcsa says it's legal. The stickler is company policy. Make sure what it is before moving the truck in pc mode.

 

When I PCd a job ago, it was NO trailer; bobtail only

 

The restriction on PC about advancing to a load are caput. As long as you are empty and not driving for the company, then you don't have to start and end anywhere in particular.

 

The reg's are 1 thing.... company policy it another...

Check with the company

 

You should be able to do it via PC. Under my company’s policy we can use PC to go home from the terminal with truck but then we have to PC back to terminal to get dispatched (this would be bobtail). If we want to get dispatched from home, we have to use driveline to get there (we could take a trailer with us).

Often times, a company policy could be stricter than law. I would check with your own company for any questions about usage because at mine, PC misuse is the quickest way to get fired.
