Does the 100 Air-Mile Radius rule still apply if you cross state lines but return to your work reporting location and are released within 12 consecutive hours?

I belive so. Don't see why not.
-
When I was hauling grain we'd take most our beans to Quincy, IL and we only had to log because we were out more than 12 hrs.
-
Yes it does.
-
In Tx if you don't cross a state line you can do a 150 air mile radius but when you cross state line it goes back to 100 air mile radius but you have to go back to your normal work reporting location but you must be released from work and no more than 12 hrs have passed since you started your work day .

Yes it does, 100 air miles regardless, if you return to the yard you started from.

. OILFIELD OPERATIONS
H-1. Are drivers of vehicles that are specially constructed to service oil wells required to log waiting time as on-duty time under the new rule?
No. The new rule retains the current exception in § 395.1(d)(2), which provides that drivers of vehicles that are specially constructed to service oil wells are not required to log time waiting at a natural gas or oil well site as "on-duty not driving" time. This specific group of drivers is allowed to extend, by the amount of their waiting time, the 14-hour period after coming on-duty during which driving is allowed.
H-2. Is off-duty time at a yard for oil-field equipment excluded from the 14-hour calculation?
No. Off-duty time at a yard for oil-field equipment is counted toward the calculation of the 14-hour rule. Only waiting time at a natural gas or oil well site may be excluded from on-duty time.
H-3. May "oilfield" drivers take advantage of the 16-hour exception provided for property-carrying drivers under § 395.1(o)?
No. The exception in § 395.1(o) is only available to drivers who otherwise strictly observe the 14-hour limit. Since § 395.1(d)(2) allows drivers of commercial motor vehicles specially constructed to service oil wells to exclude waiting time at a natural gas or oil well site from on-duty time, these drivers do not strictly observe the 14-hour limit on a daily basis. An oilfield driver may choose to use the exception provided in either § 395.1(d)(2) or § 395.1(o), but not both. -
Doesnt work at all if you drive a tow truck or ramp truck. IE local company hires drivers to work a 14 hour day AND expects you to be on call during the next 10 hours AND be ready to work again at the beginning of next 14 with out full 10 off. But hey its work.
