Moving While Out Of Hours?

Bruce, each company can set their own parameters on how this works. What Keith is saying is specific to Knight Transportation.

What Old School said. Thanks for clarifying that, I didn't think to

I busted my clock the other night by 1 min and sent a macro in to justify the bust.

Just to find out we have a 30min grace.

Solo, is that 30 min grace period unique to your company or industry wide?

Just to TMC.

Check with your logs department. By law you can.

What Scott said. Move to a safe area, contact your log department.

Keep in mind - EVEN IF your company allows "personal conveyance" driving (AKA: Line 5), you cannot drive on Line 5 with a load on.

The law has changed Rick, you can now be laden and use PC.

They changed the personal conveyance law so that you CAN use it empty or loaded. Your company may have its own rules so obviously as them. I linked the faq and they answered it under #6.

I stand corrected. Drop off the grid for a year, and they change up things on me.

6 - May a driver use personal conveyance when they run out of available (driving/on-duty) hours?

No, except for the one exception described in the guidance where a driver who runs out of hours while at a shipper’s or receiver’s facility may drive from that facility to a nearby, safe location to park, provided that the driver allows adequate time to obtain rest in accordance with daily minimum off-duty periods under the Hours of Service rules before beginning to drive. Personal conveyance is those times where a driver is operating solely for a non-business purpose and cannot be used to extend the duty day.

See what happens when you take a hiatus from trucking. EVERYTHING changes on you. If you would of stayed gone a few more months, you would of come back to me no longer being at Wolding.

Yeah - but you and I still talk on the phone once in awhile too.

Whoa.............l must have missed that thread. Where are you going and why? You have been a great advocate for Wolding.

I’m not gone yet, I will still always advocate for Wolding. There is a fellow vet that owns a small trucking company in Nashville. He has been trying to get me to work for him. He added 2 trucks at the beginning of this year and I kinda put him off. After he had drivers in both of those, I told him the next time he adds another truck I would come work for him. I was thinking it would be a hot minute before he added more trucks. He let me know a few days ago that next month he will be looking to add another truck. I am a man of my word. So once he gets another truck I will put my notice in at Wolding. That gives him a couple of weeks to get the truck ready and for me to leave on good terms with Wolding.

I hope that's a good move, but I have my reservations. I'm sure you know what you're doing, but sometimes it can really be a PITA at a small trucking company. It may suit you well, and of course I hope it does. Best of luck man!
