Abbreviation: PC
Personal Conveyance
The authorized use of a CMV for personal transportation recorded as off-duty time in the ELD when the driver is released from all work responsibilities.
FMCSA guidance allows limited personal conveyance. The driver must be genuinely off duty with no work or carrier responsibilities. PC is a special ELD duty status that does not count against HOS limits. The distance and movement are still tracked by the ELD. Individual carriers may set stricter policies on when PC may be used.
