Personal Conveyance is a specialized duty status for Off Duty drive time while driving a commercial motor vehicle doing non-work related activities. This status only appears as an option in the Samsara Driver App if it has been configured by your fleet or carrier administrator.
NOTE If you are ELD Exempt, you will not be able to use HOS functionality while using the Samsara Driver App.
For drivers in the United States, when you manually select Personal Conveyance (PC) and you are enabled for auto-duty, the PC status will remain indefinitely unless there is an engine restart.
NOTE If you navigate away from the app or close it and restart the engine, you must manually reselect PC to continue operating in PC status.
To manually set Personal Conveyance status:
From the Hours of Service view, tap the duty status bar.
Set your status to PC Personal Conveyance.
If you have already reached the maximum distance for the day, the Samsara Driver App displays an alert.
If your location cannot be determined, the Samsara Driver App prompts you to either continue without a location, or to cancel and first choose your location. For more information, see Missing Location. If you set your location, repeat this step to select the duty status.
Enter a remark to describe this status selection (required).
Tap Save.
