You could have legally delivered the load . Dispatch is wrong about the safe haven rule . That said once you delivered the load you could have use the personal conveyance rule to get to a truck stop . You reason is yes I could maybe park on a shoulder somewhere but since I don't have a load I'd rather go to a truck stop where I have restroom facilities and can get a shower and a hot meal. Personal conveyance allows you to drive in what's called off duty driving mode . This is used when you don't have a load on you and you are using the CMV as a means of personal transportation. Once the load was delivered you personally wanted to go to a truck stop to rest and get a shower and a meal and as such the company let you use the truck to do so but didn't direct you to (say after you off load you must go to a truck stop. Which dispatch never does).
