So like the title says, I work for a company that consistently has us use personal conveyance to leave shippers and receivers even when we have hours of service. They do this so that we stay on an off-duty status to continue our break. For example, we could be at a receiver for 3 hours and they want us to PC out that way 7 hours later we will have hours to roll and meet deadlines that they set regardless of if we get any sleep or not. I know that it is legal to PC out of a shipper or receiver if you run out of HOS, but is it legal to do when you have hours of service and it is for the benefit of the company of getting more loads in or done. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind doing it sometimes and it actually helps in some cases to get more miles, but it can get pretty ridiculous sometimes running with not enough sleep. In closing I guess basically I'm asking is it legal for us and or the company to do this?

That sounds like a horrible situation to be in, when you do get pegged it's going to be ugly. Ever heard the phrase "officer's discretion"? Tons of PC use is a red flag in my opinion.
No worries though, the FMCSA, NTSB, Mayor Pete, PETA, AARP, NCAA, LGBwhatevers are all on the way to stop the nonsense.
