II. Background 

On December 19, 2017 (82 FR 60269), 

FMCSA published a notice of proposed 

regulatory guidance concerning the use 

of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

for personal conveyance. This provision 

is available to all CMV drivers required 

to record their hours of service (HOS) 

who are permitted by their employer to 

use the vehicle for personal use. The 

proposed regulatory guidance would 

revise Question 26 to 49 CFR 395.8. 

The existing guidance on personal 

conveyance (49 CFR 395.8, Question 26) 

was issued by the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), FMCSA’s 

predecessor agency, in a memorandum 

dated November 18, 1996, and later 

published in a compilation of guidance 

(62 FR 16370, 16426, April 4, 1997). The 

guidance reiterated the basic principle 

that a driver in off-duty status must be 

relieved from work and all 

responsibility for performing work. It 

highlighted the use of the CMV as a 

personal conveyance in traveling to and 

from the place of employment (e.g., the 

normal work reporting location). The 

1997 guidance included discussion of 

CMVs used to travel ‘‘short distances’’ 

from a driver’s en route lodgings to 

restaurants in the vicinity of such 

lodgings. In addition, the 1997 guidance 

explicitly excluded the use of laden 

vehicles as personal conveyance and the 

operation of the CMV as personal 

conveyance by drivers who have been 

placed out of service for HOS violations. 

The guidance has remained unchanged 

since 1997. 

In the December 19, 2017, proposed 

revision to the guidance, the Agency 

focused on the reason the driver is 

operating a CMV while off duty, without 

regard to whether the CMV is or is not 

laden. The previous guidance, which 

required the CMV to be unladen, was 

written for combination vehicles, where 

the driver could readily detach the 

trailer and use the unladen tractor for 

personal conveyance. This 

interpretation had the inadvertent effect 

of not allowing drivers of single-unit 

work trucks that carry loads, as well as 

tools of trade and related materials, on 

the power unit to document this offduty time on the RODS. In the absence 

of a trailer, these loads, tools, and other 

equipment cannot reasonably be 

offloaded, left unattended, and reloaded 

after the power unit has been used for 

personal conveyance. This proposed 

revision to the guidance eliminates the 

requirement that the CMV be unladen 

and thus the disparate impact created by 

the previous guidance. 

Request for Extension of the Comment 

Period 

On December 22, 2017, the American 

Trucking Associations, Inc. (ATA), 

asked that the Agency provide a 30-day 

extension of the comment period. ATA 

expressed concern that end-of-year tasks 

and holiday periods might make it 

difficult for many interested parties to 

prepare comments by the original 

January 19, deadline. A copy of the ATA 

request is in the docket identified at the 

beginning of this notice. 

FMCSA acknowledges ATA’s 

concerns. After reviewing the request, 

FMCSA hereby grants a 30-day 

extension of the comment period to 

February 20, 2018, to provide all 

interested parties additional time to 

respond to the notice of proposed 

regulatory guidance.
