    Legally you did not do the right thing. The only way to pc out of there is if you were kicked out.
    Go read the guidance, and are you really trying to get an LEO to believe there was no place to park a bobtail at the rest area?

    Here is a list of when you can use PC. Personal Conveyance

    Welcome to the world of trucking for a mega carrier. You can expect this to happen on a regular basis. Sad but true.

    ya it’s been brutal thus far, a lot of the places I’ve gone to thus far remind me of the scene from Apocalypse Now, where all the soldiers are fighting but no ones in charge!

    Man if this is the worst day ever , i have been doing this trucking thing all wrong LOL.. Ya did good though buddy, id probably dropped that trailer where ya did without even going thru the mess of asking especially if they are closed. The yard jockey that is his job so he can deal with it .

    He is released from duty and not advancing toward next dispatch or working. He was going home bobtail. Nothing wrong with that.
