Nothing about off duty driving says you have to return to the point of origion. Sounds like that might be a company policy.

During off duty driving you can in no way further the load you are on. In other words if you are getting paid and making money then you can not use off duty driving. Its designed for personal use. Not to be used for finding a place to sleep. If you are under a load or on the way to get a load that is on duty driving cause you are responsible for the load you are under AND you are being paid.

You should reread my opigional post. I said to use it after a drop, meaning chances are you'd be empty and not assigned to your next load. In this case, using line 5 to park for the night is perfectly legal as you aren't 'laden'.

And where did I say to use it loaded? We bumped heads in the other forum frequently. I don't want to do it here also. Please respond to what I actually said and not what you thought I said. Thank you.

Not bumping heads in the least. I know what you said. I was only making it clear to other new drivers out there what Off Duty driving was for. I never said or argued the fact that if you are unladen you can't use it. Was only making it clear what OFF duty driving is and should be used for.

I am sorry if you took my posting as an attack on what you said. Was not my intention.

No need to apologize.
