Per: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regul...942&guidence=Y
Question 26: If a driver is permitted to use a CMV for personal reasons, how must the driving time be recorded?
Guidance: When a driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work, time spent traveling from a driver's home to his/her terminal (normal work reporting location), or from a driver's terminal to his/her home, may be considered off-duty time. Similarly, time spent traveling short distances from a driver's en route lodgings (such as en route terminals or motels) to restaurants in the vicinity of such lodgings may be considered off-duty time. This Bud's for you.

Once again people, if you really want to know the answer, call the source. Rev failed at trucking and still stands on his pulpit trying to preach what he does not know.

Furthermore, if the vehicle is laden, even if you drop the trailer, you are still cannot use the personal conveyance provision, as you are not releived of all work or responsibility for performing work.
This Bud's for you. Now add to what I showed and we have answered your question which was "How exactly can you be off duty in a CMV?" As to the your comments about being laden that discussion happened several weeks ago. And has no bearing on this discussion. Thank you for the Bud. However, since I don't drink and have not done so for close to 20 years I'd rather a cold Ice Tea. kc0iv

Why does anyone care if it is legal or not? It is just plain old stupid to drink in a commercial vehicle.
If you think it is a good idea why not call your safety department or your insurance carrier and see what they think about it????????

Love this discussion. Think the horse has been beaten to death? Anyway...
Hijacking this thread... Does the .04 BAC apply to your personal vehicle as well?
