One thing not covered here is not so much the DOT regulation regarding PC but the strikingly increased usage of PC in the last 5 years. Im talking strictly the legal use of PC. These mandates are almost the tail waging the dog on regulatory enforcement of ELD's, less available parking, various policy issues with different company's, all with the integration of WIFI to various shipper/consignee conditions. Company's are actually "pre-planning" PC conditions on load assignments. Not to advance a load "but its there if you need it" type thing. Its happening with almost daily repetitiveness. Next year's use of PC by the trucking industry overall will be greater than 2022. This is on every legal usage of PC imaginable and where it is not illegally used to advance a load it has slowly become a management tool to incorporate more planning. Where this is legal it is beginning to smell, as an industry, for driver stress overload and starting 10hr. Breaks to when the driver comes off that break. I already see where the strict policy that allows it is the very one that is pushing drivers to the brink on preplans for shipments. But we do not advance loads on PC do we? Theoretically, not on paper But Every available hour for shipping and receiving is being purposely planned for tolerance levels on a massive scale. Maybe Im wrong

I remember hearing the term why do you like trucking? The answer was freedom on the road. Sure doesn't seem like it. Super regulated, Smokey's always on your ass. You can get in trouble if you buy fuel or don't buy fuel in certain states I guess. Getting no respect! Got nowhere to park and sleep. Sort of looks like a camping trip disaster! Looks like autonomous trucks may be a blessing in disguise.

@@thisismagacountry1318 my husband worked for mud oil and gas safety. Tri-State area. 7 days a week 24 hours a day that man's phone rang constantly. This was actually the first job that he had, whereas he was home but still traveling from home constantly. Back when Obama was leaving office. He was asked one question. What not to invest in. He immediately said natural gas. I held on to that.. he didn't like the talk that I had with his boss. But I said to his boss if you can sell this business and get out. I would do it because they are about to trash your gas industry. Smart man he did so. My husband was mad. I said don't. It's time for change. I let him sulk for about 3 months. And said here. You have a choice here's two companies. I'm going to let you choose but I like one out of the two. He chose the one I liked. Hooray. He earns way more than he ever did. 120k a year. With no student he's at 175k. With a student 300k+ Not this year but the last he did very very well. Exceptionally well. The most beautiful thing out of this I told him this is going to change your life. I know that you are going to become a trainer. Trainers make good money. My husband is the type, by the book. And he is an excellent teacher. Very methodical. And, if he can teach me how to drive backwards and back up. Little 5 foot 2 115 lb. Little me. He can most certainly train another man.. I told him you're going to change lives. He trifected everything. I knew he would. He's been in farming his whole life. Driving farm equipment I need a ladder to get into. Haha 😂😆 His first student. Young man with a baby on the way and two children. He was a truck waiting for wide loads. It was a really nice day so my husband was cooking steaks outside. He struck up a conversation with him and he became his first student. Truly changing his life. It's so precious to see his students call him back. And to show how good they're doing the pictures they send. And the heartfelt words, they give to him. Honestly with the way that the world is going. I told my husband, they're going to drop gas but people need to eat. People need products. And this is before all of our processing plants started going kaboom. Within the past two years we've had over 100 processing plants go bye-bye. Food clothing drugs energy. I'm like push push hard until the end.. I told him I said this is one job that will push until the very end. He's done exceptionally well. I love prime. Any issue has always been taken care of. I'm going to surprise him this spring. And take a mini vacation with him. On his truck. Be his little truck bunny. Hehehe 😆💋👌💯💫💖 I think owner operator, is a good place to be. But. My husband and I sat down and thought about this and did the numbers. Let's say you get a truck. It's definitely not a brand new truck. It's not under complete warranty. Many of the issues that can go wrong. With his lease truck. Anything is fixed immediately. Some individuals proclaim you don't make money doing that. Oh yes you do especially if you are a good driver and you can train for the company. Oh absolutely. That's where the money is. Go where the money is. Push hard, stack and save. The money that you would be spending out to fix your truck. The money that you would be spending out, to get back on the road. You don't have to worry. If you're an excellent driver and you can become a trainer. That is your honey pot.. and I will say there are certain type, that should not be trainers. My husband is a very even keel type of person. It takes a lot to take him off.. his first trainer was terrible. Evil man. My husband was like I don't see army Navy or Air Force anywhere. Stop talking to me like I'm at a training camp. Speak to me like a human being. He was such a jerk.. I am so happy, I asked him I said drop that trainer. He's like I don't know I'm new here I'm like you're allowed to. Many of the things that he is doing and how he is treating you is not correct you don't treat someone like that you don't talk to someone like that. He dropped him. Got an awesome trainer. Actually stayed an extra four weeks on his truck. Much better. And then. He drove for a year and then started training for them.. Truly trucking is good money. You just have to pick a good company. You just have to work hard you're not going home every other week. If you have a love at home she's got to get used to you being gone. My husband and i's whole relationship. He was a professional photographer and traveled all over the world. Heck nine days after the birth of our child he was gone for 12 weeks. Sorry didn't mean to post. So for your loved ones. You'll see them around every 3 months. Although if you're training it might even be longer. But your paycheck, time gone is time earned. Make do and do without. Make that money honey. It's there for the taking.

[@robbinperers8526]

DOT does not need "probable cause" to make a legal stop. You can be pulled in at any scale and told to follow the green arrow for your lane. Period. If they want to do a level one and you are told to go to the "barn" for the inspecting officer to meet you then I strongly advise you to do so. Your entire rig could be totally brand new, everything, brand new. The truck in front of you could be missing a bumper and have 3 bungie cords holding a fender. If they want to do it side on the road they can. They can check logs, the entire rig and drop wheel scales for you to roll up on.

One day, I was near Donor Pass in California, when a blizzard started. I-80 was closed down until it could be plowed. Police officers had all truckers temporarily park on the side of the freeway where you chain tires. I had to sit there for hours. My clock had almost run out, so I put myself in the Sleeper Berth mode and laid down (it was after dark, after all). Hours later, a police officer came and told me, and all the other truckers to move to the nearest Safe Haven. I told him I was out of HOS, and if he let me sit there for a few more hours, I would have a full clock. I begged him to let me stay. He said, I would be ticketed if I stayed. He said, I could use PC But, my company doesn't have PC. But, he insisted I move. All the rest areas were closed. The next truck stop was thirty minutes away. I got there and it was full. I drove thirty minutes to the next truck stop, but it was full. Then I drove another thirty minutes to the next truck stop; but, it was full. Then, two police officers had me and other trucker move to the side of the freeway, in another tire chaining area, because they closed the freeway again until that section could be plowed. I put myself in Sleeper Berth status again and napped for several hours. But, my 14-hour clock didn't stop, of course. Eventually, we were allowed to move. There was a fender-bender accident with two big rigs at that closest truck stop at that point, so the police wouldn't let anyone pull in there (it was a tiny Mom and Pop truck stop). I drove to the next one, about thirty minutes away. I parked and took a 10-hour break. The next day, I got a lecture from my manager, and written up and given a three-day suspension for egregious HOS violation..ugh.

I want to thank you guys for this. I'm actually currently looking at purchasing a house. I was led to believe that PC was only 50 miles. So I've limited my house searching to within 50 miles of our local drop lot. Now i know i can live further, thus open up my home search.

Double check and make sure 50 miles isn't your company's policy. Just cuz there's no legal limit doesn't mean your company won't have their own rules. Good luck on the house!

[@dannystranahan1004]

Don't forget if you go to a trailer drop lot and you pick up another trailer even though you're planning on driving on personal conveyance you still have to go on duty to show your pre trip of the new trailer you picked up which therefore starts your 14 hour clock again. I know when you go back on personal conveyance but just remember to go back on duty when you do your pre trip and/or posttrip.

[@heman345]

You cannot use PC when picking up another trailer... it means you are still working for the company and not totally free from any obligations.. In other words you are still on duty and your driving time is still counting and your 14 hour window is not reset.

[@dannystranahan1004]

@@heman345 That's true if you're going straight to pick up that other trailer but if you decide to get something to eat at a restaurant and it happens to be on the way to where you're that trailer is you're picking up you can use PC because you're going to go get somethingto eat but then you would have to go on duty when you actually go to pick up the trailer but at least you would be in the area and you didn't burn all that time from point A point B

All this is very useful for the drivers who doesn’t know when they can legally use the PC but also to mention that PC in Canada has a little bit more things to it. Like limited miles and NOT being loaded. Just so you guys from US when eventually coming up north.

[@sachadee.6104]

our company says you can use it ONLY when bobtailing (in Canada)

[@Popwarner-x1w]

I knew that I needed to get out of the long haul trucking in 2005. I had to cheat the entire 6 years I drive over the road. That means most of the other drivers also had to cheat. American Truck Drivers need to be paid by the hour and overtime pay after 8 hours for all duties performed from the beginning of his/her shift. This means pretripping the truck.

[@briancasey4917]

I hand it to truckers today. I retired/quit 10 years ago after a couple years of CSA regulations (government blacklisting) and impending ELDs. Not for me to have the DOT riding shotgun on my life everyday. What other job requires a daily account of what you do even your off time to some extent. Individual freedoms end with a CDL. More power to you guys for dealing with all these nitpicking regs.

[@timmcguigan2421]

As a former PO certified in accident investigation and reconstruction and current driver, I learned long ago the difference between letter of the law, spirit of the law and discretion. I can honestly say that on more than one occasion in my 20 year trucking career, DOT had me dead to rights. Respect, clean well maintained equipment, and honesty saved my ass. I am of the mindset that ELD's and rushing to make it to locations before being in violation has attributed to countless accidents. Stay smart and safe out there...

[@maxenra]

Absolutely. Can't tell you how many times I've been held up since ELD came into effect. When something causes a set-back, you're compelled to push your limits to make your loads on time. Many times I've had several days in a row where my schedule was exactly the limit fmcsa allows. Exactly a 10 hr break, 8 hrs non-stop drive, 30 min break, 3 hrs non-stop drive, then repeat. Really takes a toll on your body.

[@nikola23gr]

@timmcguigan2421 for me ELD was I nightmare. With the paper log book when I felt sleepy while driving during the day I was going to stop and sleep for 2 hours, and than change the log so I don't loss those 2 hours that I slept. With the ELD I had to drive when sleepy if a sleep for 2 hours I am losing it. I never drove sleepy with the paper log with the Eld I did so I decided before I kill someone or kill myself I sold the 2 trucks that I had. Now doing road service!

[@nikola23gr]

@maxenra and they say eld is safe. Safe my ass! I stop driving after 14 years just because of the freedom you don't have with the ELD.

It sucks because you can't break when you want without the company getting pissed at you and when you try to do the right thing and use the knowledge you were taught, dot wants to take your money from you. It's crazy! I wasn't even tired half the time I drove. I was more bored of driving all the time and not actually doing personal things. If you going to live and drive truck, there has to be time to wind down and to wake up. Your expected to just go and get loads and deliver them, but you can't take no time to eat shower amd just reset your self. The trucking rules are set up to fail you! Unless you do exactly what the company wants which is drive and then go straight to sleep.

[@boobalooba5786]

That's my big problem. I have an awkward sleep schedule, I have had minor insomnia or over 20 years now, and I can never get to sleep at the end of my shift. It takes about 3-4 hours for me to fall asleep and if I dare to get a full night sleep so I'm not driving fatigued I have to start about 3-4 hours late every day. I love driving, I love the job, but it's either working with the high risk of crashing every day, or not working and I value my life more than money so fuck these companies.

[@musicauthority9939]

It's sort of been that way for a long time. I was an OTR truck driver for over sixteen years. and I remember that a lot of things were screwed up. in regards to time management. year's ago I used to have to run three log books. and when I had to run that hard. I had to learn unique techniques to be able to stay awake. but still I would get so run down. that when I would come in of the road. I would have to sleep for two days straight. before I could go back out on the road. I did that for a while, and finally I'd have ask the company for a different haul. or have quit and go work for a different company. to get a break from the hard running. I've done it all Long haul, Intra State, local cartage, and in team operation, and solo operation. the only thing I haven't done. is terminal to terminal driving. and it always go like hell, stop sleep, wake-up, go like hell again. and now my internal clock is all screwed up. trucking isn't like a regular job where a person works from eight too five. there isn't a regular schedule. and I guess it's quite a bit different how. with the onboard computers. I've seen them and have a general idea how they work. but never really drove regular hauling with the onboard computers.

HOS is the biggest joke ever! After I drive 11 hrs and work 14 hrs, I can hop in my car and drive around endlessly. I can be up, driving my pov for 10 hours off, logging off duty on my log book, amd still drive a CMV for 11 hrs... there's nothing safe about HOS at ALL!

[@uncrunch398]

It is my understanding that HOS guarantees you are _allowed_ to rest. If you wreck because you pass out because you are sleep deprived after you took those hours, then it's your fault.

[@TourDriverSean]

Your understanding is the "textbook" answer written by pencil pushers who've never worked in the industry. HOS forces drivers to drive when they're tired and be awake when they can't drive, because the real world exists

[@briansmith2348]

[@pedropreciado9067]

Wrong company to work for. PC is not illegal but might get a company driver fired or disciplined. That's why he said an owner operator IS the company

[@keithwilliams1243]

@@heman345 - Personal conveyance is in point of fact a right in law. No company can lawfully take away that right. They can however, and do (at this time) according to the contract they have with you penalise you for excercising that right. I would argue that companies who do this are acting unlawfully because they are depriving truckers their rights in law. The companies would probably argue that they restrict those rights with the truckers consent because the trucker agreed to the policy of the company when he took up employement with them. The best remedy to this problem is for all truckers to work together and refuse to work for any company that does this. If that was done rigidly and across the board then this problem would disapear in a heartbeat.

I liked your informative interview. I worked for Double J Transport out of Wisconsin for a while. Good people, for the most part. It was the first time in my 47 year career that I ever had to call into dispatch for authorization to utilize the PC option. I can tell you that, though a minor pain, I could understand the reasoning for it. While some drivers may feel an imposition, remember that all of us really don’t take the necessary time to research and fully understand how we are affected. Read, research, and understand fully what is going on.

[@TWOSU_NEWS]

The easiest way to beet an OOS violation like PC is to demand that the officer write an actual ticket instead of a OOS violation., they are completely different…one is essentially a warning that effects you CVSA score while the other ( if found guilty ) would fine + affect you’re CVSA… The logic behind it is is the lack of transparency or training officers receive regarding PC scenarios from the FMCSA…. Many times., officers will look at any scenario as being to the benefit to the carrier and place a driver out of service without writing a citation…remember., officers don’t have to write tickets when placing a driver out of service… HOWEVER: a driver has a right to escalate the interaction to a violation and demand an officer write a citation just like a driver being able to demand a level 1 over a level 3… Having the officer write a citation grants you your right to dispute the OOS at a later date and clear your CVSA score…many times., the officer won’t write the ticket or place the driver out of service because they know they are in the wrong

[@00SirSativa00]

Perfect timing for this. I’m working fema in Florida. So lots of off PC movement. Getting food or going to the hotel etc. I always would just put “post trip done” in the annotations. Because that’s what the dude next to me said to do. I’m definitely telling him the right way to do it.
