Oh Yeah, that'll work. I'll bet the DOT officer has NEVER heard that before!
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
My question would be that if Primes policy is what he claims, are they going to pony up for an attorney to fight the ticket?

That was part of my point a couple of pages ago...I think we know the answer.
Personal conveyance is for personal reason. Ie getting lunch hair cut grocery shopping etc. It's not for furthering a load.
Telling the officer I ran out of time and used it well buddy that's what trip planning is for.
However if you used it because you woke up from a nap starved and thirsty well then.
Crap, I must have missed it. Oh well lol.

I have only used off duty driving a few times...and only if I am completely out of time and must move to a parking spot. I try really hard to plan so that I don't find myself in that situation, but sometimes things happen. I do respect the advice.
