FMCSA’s guidance leaves the concept of personal conveyance open to interpretation, and that frequently leads motor carriers to trouble. Is PC worth it?
Carriers are right to be concerned about managing personal conveyance, and drivers who misuse personal conveyance are essentially creating false logs.
We spoke with Joe DeLorenzo, director of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance, to get an update on how the changeover from AOBRDs to ELDs is going.
Are you confused about personal conveyance? You're not alone. FMCSA significantly changed its guidance on this aspect of the hours of service rules. Here are some of the most important things you need to know.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration just announced regulatory guidance that gives drivers a way to deal with one of the most vexing problems with the electronic logging device mandate – finding a safe place to park for the night – as well as clarification for ag haulers on the 150-air-mile exemption.
The FMCSA is granting an additional 90-day temporary waiver from the electronic logging rule for “agriculture-related transportation.” During that time period, the agency says it will also publish "final guidance" on both the agricultural air-mile exemption within the hours of service rule and on the use of the personal conveyance adjustment by all motor carriers operating under the ELD rule.
This question has to do with what has been termed “personal conveyance.” This is a situation where a driver is using his/her commercial vehicle as a personal vehicle to commute to and from a personal destination.
