Personal conveyance

PC designation is 'often' delineated by the company itself. As I said, I can drive HOME after a long, pushing my 14 day via PC, but not to the yard. Gotta complete my 10 prior.

Re: PC for on private property, we have a line called 'Yard Move' on our squawk box. Do you not have that? Not just for our 'home' yard, but for shippers and receivers, as well.

 

The rules have changed ever since the transition from AOBRD to ELD. With ELD, now we have yard move. So we are expected to use yard move whenever moving about the shipper, receiver, or company’s properties. Anyone using PC after logging on duty shipper/receiver is going to have to explain to an officer why he used it. By the way, you should be able to move your truck within 5 mph without logging it, unless somehow your company took this off.

 

Okay, correct. HOWEVER do you not have 'yard move' available?

 

If you can't run your business and follow the laws governing said business you have no 'right' to ibe in that business.
It's as simple as that. Ignore everyone else as they don't matter to how you run. Follow the laws that, in one form or another, have been around for 80 years or get a job that isn't so tightly regulated.

 

I have a 9-speed truck. I can use the LOW gear or 1st gear, but in practice I cannot accelerate over 4 mph because it can switch me to driving. I’ve tried 2nd gear, and it will automatically switch me to driving. You may have to experiment on your truck a bit to see which gears work. Once you find the right gear, try accelerating very, very lightly.
