The FMCSA will probably get feedback from thousands on this, determining what does,in fact,constitute a yard, and at what speed does a yard now become a road, and if bobtailing only, could in fact be logged on duty, unless the tractor is a tandem, where that would be considered enough tires to now call that a , unit, which requires more maneuvering, but less than when pulling doubles, or a 53’ van, so it would now become actual driving, unless the unit was traveling at an idle, which that would change the declared unit into a yard trailer relocation mechanism which would then be legal as on duty, not driving, with the only exception being if it had enough fuel in the tanks to go over 100 miles.

Or governed at 46 mph?

This could have implications for our meet locations! (Whether they are at a terminal it at a truck stop)

Everyone needs to get on this link and hammer the point that a truck stop could take 15 minutes longer if it can’t be logged as yard moves!

Considering a truck stop eligible for YM could even prevent some of the bone head truckers from taking a 30 minute break in the fuel lane! (By the time they get there, their break would be half over...)

This part of the article should clear things up better for you.
