[Video] Personal Conveyance: Non-Work Related Truck Driving
Kelli has worked in the trucking industry since 2003, beginning her career in compliance for a carrier specializing in government freight. Since joining ATS in 2017 as Compliance Manager, she has worked directly with DOT regulations, fleet compliance, and transportation safety standards, helping ensure carriers and drivers meet evolving industry requirements.
Personal conveyance is a term that holds significant importance in the trucking industry, and Kelli Bloom, the compliance manager at Anderson Trucking Service, sheds light on its significance. While off-duty, drivers may use a commercial motor vehicle for personal purposes, but it is crucial to understand the limitations that come with personal conveyance. Kelli emphasizes that personal conveyance should never be used for work-related tasks or to facilitate load transportation. This distinction is essential to ensure the safety and compliance of drivers and to maintain the integrity of the industry. By understanding and adhering to the regulations surrounding personal conveyance, drivers can enjoy their off-duty time while still upholding the highest standards of professionalism and responsibility.
