No mileage log for a truck/drivers

IRP audit; The State where the truck is based will have a booklet and its required forms. Logs do not have to be included for the IRP, you may use Maps to show trip routing.

you aren't supposed to use estimated mileage after the first year. they can go back and with something like streets and trips and find the mileage. but if they only go out of state a couple times a year, why don't the dummies use reg tags and just buy temp permits the few times they do go out of state???? it would be much cheaper.

 

I wouldn't just hand the guy invoices, I would recreate a mileage record using the invoices. and figure the mileage for everywhere they have ran. you might want to find someone local that handles this for a trucking company to help

This IRP Audit is not demanding: Just get the IRP book & read thru it.

 

For the millionth time, state lines ain't got nothin' to do with the 100 air-mile radius exemption from the RODS requirements. The 100 air-mile radius is just that, 100 air-mile radius. An air mile is equal to a nautical mile, which is different than a statute mile. The 100 air-mile radius is actually 115 & change statute miles. State lines don't matter, because the FMCSA regs only apply to intERstate commerce, not intRAstate. IntRAstate is governed by STATE regs, not the feds. IntERstate REQUIRES the occasional crossing of state lines. That being the case, common sense would tell you that a regulation in the FMCSA book of regs, which exempts drivers operating inside of a 100 air-mile radius from having to keep a RODS, wouldn't have anything to do with whether or not state lines were crossed. Heck, where I'm at, my 100 air-mile radius has the potential for me to be in 6 different states! As long as I stay inside that 100 air-mile radius and get back within 12 hours, it doesn't matter if I stay in my home state or do the circle tour and hit all 6. The 100 air-mile radius is a 100 air-mile radius. Period. End of sentence.

 

No one here is talking about record of duty status logs, they are talking about mileage logs for state line crossing, so yes, leaving the state does matter when you are getting a IRP audit (fuel tax/vehicle registration). Maybe next time you can read and comprehend the question before you blow up.

Question123, do your client a favor, insist they recreate mileage logs using a mapping program before the audit, for all trips, and have their driver start using an actual mileage log immediately, otherwise the fines the face will be based on other operations out of state mileage which will be significantly higher than what their actual mileage and fees would be, plus they run the risk of having their IRP account suspended, meaning they will not be allowed to run out of state for a period of time.

Do not confuse mileage record keeping (logs) with DOT hours of service logs, they are two different things, one simply shows compliance with the hours of service regulations, which is not required if they stay within the 100 mile radius and 12 hour tour of duty, leave from and return to the same place, etc,(time card or similar records satisfy this requirement) but the other, state line mileage logs or some other for of tracking miles driven in each state on your IRP cab card, and the fuel purchased with date, location, and gallons on the receipt, that is required even within the 100 mile radius if you cross a state line. Further, some states require the same records even if you do not leave the state, my home state of Pennsylvania has a in state fuel tax decal and requires the same record keeping and reporting of mileage and fuel purchases for intrastate trucks as they do for interstate trucks.
