    30mins a day max and lots of rules to go along with it. Can't be under a load, cant use it to progress towards next load, cant use it to head to shop to get truck worked on. Basically only reason use Off duty drive is if you get empty and there are no loads you can use it to go to safe haven. Or if you arrive at customer for drop n hook and load isnt ready and cant stay on property you can off duty drive to safe haven. Or if headed home for hometime and your empty and out of hours you can notify Diane in logs you're heading for hometime and she will tell you to pjt yourself off duty driving and ignore qc when your 30mins is up she will fix it.

    The new qc updates now have a “personal conveyance” feature instead of off duty drive. I’m not sure if the same rules apply or not though

    I was the only student in my class so I was soooo sick of backing by the time range week was over with.... and then I flunked my test on the alley dock, anyhow. So yeah, you can never practice enough.

    I'm guessing that the 30 minute rule is a fuel restriction thing on the part of Millis. I get 2 hours. Most likely because I'm burning my own fuel. If I'm not mistaken, the actual DOT guideline is 4 hours max. I'm betting @MACK E-6 probably knows the answer to that.
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.

    You mean the 30 min break after 8 hours rule?

    No, personal conveyance. Millis gives you 30 minutes. I get 2 hours. But I think DOT actually gives you 4 hours. Do you know what the actual DOT guideline is?

    Got me.

    I thought PC was part of your off duty time, and it didn’t matter as long as you weren’t advancing the load.
