Question about going back in time....

Don't worry about it. Your advance towards load doesn't count since you weren't under dispatch, and had no prior knowledge of which direction you would be heading next.

 

I agree @SoulScream84 . I don't see how anyone could object to anything. Accidentally going in "the wrong direction" proves you aren't advancing the current load or next load but it isn't any sort of requirement to only go in the wrong direction to PC or for a 34.

Relax.

 

I wouldn’t worry about it. About the only way your company would get in trouble is if they get audited and you were in an area and had knowledge there’s a good chance you’d be picking up your load from that particular shipper. And even then I think it would be hard to prove you had prior knowledge of your next load before the PC.

 

So you're good. To top it off your PC being followed up with a 34 hour reset leads to proof of innocence.

 

Well, I 100% disagree with every response you got. I've done this many times. I will drop a trailer, PC home intending to return to that same location for my next pickup, only to end up picking up at a different location that just so happens to be in the same direction I used PC. I will edit the log from PC to DRIVE and add a comment, "Did Not Return To Previous Drop Location For Next Pickup" The way these people are telling you, you could use PC anytime, anywhere, and say "Well I didn't mean to go this direction and end up advancing myself to my next load, it just kind of worked out in my favor that way"

 

That's beyond stupid. The exception as written leaves you with the understanding that you cannot advance a load. If you have no knowledge of where you will be heading next, then you are advancing nothing.

When you realize, you did advance to your next load using PC you need to change it to DRIVE.
