7/70 8/80 rule

Heres a good place to start for local drivers. The rules are 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days for interstate drivers. Way back in the 80s when I was running local, we didn't pay any attention to the 7/60 or 8/70. We just run what we run then went home course I'm sure its changed since then for local driving?

^^^^ Even though one is out of the 100 mile radius, and running paper logs? Work or DRIVE 12 hours daily? Just curious. Been 12 years since I had to go to 'mandatory' re-schooling. Thanks!~

 

And Calif has "seasonal" exemption during harvest time.

 

100 air-mile radius exception allows you to not log so long as specific conditions are met...one of those being your employer maintains a record of your hours worked. You are STILL subject to the HOS (albeit difficult to enforce on the side of the road). While the company may get away with running you every day for weeks on end for a while, eventually they'll be audited and any driving in excess of 70 hours in 8 days for a 7 day per week operation will be a violation.

The only thing intra- vs. inter- state has to do with any of this is that interstate operations are subject to FMCSA regs, whereas intrastate operations are not, and some states have more lenient HOS allowances for intrastate operations. The 100 air-mile radius exception is FMCSA, so all this crap about "you can't cross state lines" is pure garbage. Cross all the state lines you want, just don't leave the 100 air-mile radius or work past the 12th hour. Start & stop at the same place every day, and make sure your employer keeps a record of your hours worked.

 

^^^^ Thank you so much for that clarification. I'm still on paper, in Ohio, and still run the legal HOS as if I were OTR. I'm way out of the 100 mile radii.
Minus sleeper and the 8/2 split, of course; still take my 30 per se. Sometimes dispo gets a little miffed; better them than me. Thank you SO much for clarifying; I need a refresher course.
Seriously, thank you.

 

This is completely false!

 

Okay, Black and Coues, reiterate?!? I hit Illinois a day a week, so I don't qualify. But...if I did? My wife keeps me on the 80/7 or the 70/6 and makes sure i get my 34 but...... what am I missing? If I didn't go to Chicago once a week, would that apply to me?!~? SHEESH... time for me to study again, or just depend on her CDLP smarts.
