Change To FMCSA Allows Personal Conveyance To Find Parking? Anyone Have More Info?

It will still be based on company policy like I said earlier. Some companies do not allow PC at all. It is not even an option on the qualcomm. Mine allows 30 minutes before it puts you on drive and violates hos.
I am pretty sure safety can go in and change the parameters in the Qualcomm if absolutely neccessary but, I dont think you'll find yourself needing this PC move to find parking often. If you do, you are not planning well enough. Stuff does happen out here from time to time though.
In his case, his company allows 2 hours per day, and even then, I would discuss it with dispatch. Man plans, God laughs
