    As long as it takes to the nearest appropriate place.

    And it isn't a "safe haven." That's a term for hazmat.

    I did 80 miles, but the Elog had a way to get around the excess driving at that time.
    Not hazmat though.

    I’m not under hazmat load, bad choice of words. I’m getting unloaded 1am, and closest truck stop is 49 miles away.

    They don’t let you stay on their property.

    Nah, pretty common. The only reason I mentioned it is because the FMCSA does refer to safe haven.
     
    zigstar Thanks this.

    You can drive to the truck stop when unloaded on PC.
    You can start your 10 hour now.

    And even when you are loaded, now.

    3. Time spent traveling to a nearby, reasonable, safe location to obtain required rest after loading or unloading. The time driving under personal conveyance must allow the driver adequate time to obtain the required rest in accordance with minimum off-duty periods under 49 CFR 395.3(a)(1) (property-carrying vehicles) or 395.5(a) (passenger-carrying vehicles) before returning to on-duty driving, and the resting location must be the first such location reasonably available.

    This is Mclane in Manassas Va, I’m doing 10 hrs now, they let you stay before appointment, but after empty was told have to leave. Also my company allows 30 minutes pc each way, and I am 49 miles away so can’t do that.
