(John Sommers II for Transport Topics)\n\nLOUISVILLE, Ky. — Some truck drivers still are grappling with the definition of personal conveyance time. They shouldn’t be, according to a top executive for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.\n\nHere’s a simple way to evaluate whether a driver is on personal conveyance time, according to Joe DeLorenzo, FMCSA’s director of enforcement and compliance: “Am I off duty? Am I doing any work at the request of the motor carrier, rather than for myself? Is the major purpose of why the motor vehicle is being moved personal? Is it for a nonbusiness-related purpose?”\n\nJoseph DeLorenzo by John Sommers II for Transport Topics.\n\nDeLorenzo gave those words of advice during an electronic logging device update session at the Mid-America Trucking Show here March 30.\n\nAlthough DeLorenzo was offering a variety of tips about steering clear of trouble using the devices, it was personal conveyance time — also known as authorized personal use time — that garnered the most questions from drivers.\n\nSome common examples of personal conveyance time include time spent traveling to lodging, restaurants or entertainment venues, time spent traveling to a reasonable, safe location to obtain required rest or moving a truck at the request of a safety official during the driver’s off-duty time, DeLorenzo said.\n\nA driver cannot use the time for the sole purpose of advancing the freight or time spent transporting a vehicle to a facility for maintenance, he said. There are no specific time or distance limits for legitimate personal use movement of commercial motor vehicles.\n\nMore storiesPhoto gallery\n\n“It doesn’t matter what you’re hauling or whether you’re loaded or unloaded or hooked up to a trailer or not,” DeLorenzo said. “You can move the vehicle to the nearest safe location on personal conveyance time to get rest, and you don’t have to go backwards. This is one of those times where it’s OK to continue on the progress of the load as long as you are stopping at the nearest reasonable, safe location. We deliberately don’t define that because that’s a judgment call on the part of the driver.”\n\nHe added, “We don’t want a driver parking in a lot that doesn’t have anyu lighting or any protection. We don’t want anybody parking on the side of the highway where it’s unsafe. You can make the call.”\n\nWhen it comes to the use of ELDs, DeLorenzo said drivers foremost need to know whether they are using automatic onboard recording devices or ELDs during roadside inspections.\n\nOne of the more common violations regarding both ELDs and AOBRDs involved drivers not knowing how to transfer data to roadside inspectors."} |
