100 air-mile logbook exemption

Ok thanks! I'll not battle this any longer. You're completely right. Is that better now?

 

I know this is a old thread but I stumbled upon it and read something that caught my attention.

If I'm reading the regs right, if I'm a local driver and only go outside 100 miles once every couple of months, I need not worry about having the last 7 days in my log book?

In the past I've always painstakingly tried to recreate the past 7 days and enter it into my log when I travel beyond 100 miles. If I'm reading this right, it would save me a lot of work.

 

The one thing regarding the miles rule as the crow flies (Air miles) apply to Arkansas Tier Two trucking, which generally can be farm work and only farm work within 150 miles air straight line point to point. Meaning you can have this work without a medical certificate. Tier Two is applicable to other things such as hauling dead bodies in a disaster under supervision of higher.

You can carry a medical cert and go to work any way you please in any tier as long it's valid.

West Memphis is a interesting situation. I-55 has a bridge towards US 79 right there, as does I 40 and so on. Im not so sure some company such and such can dispatch you from west memphis to so and such a place if the bridges did not exist. You still would be a tier two without a med card and have to be less than 150 miles radius.

There may be a time in the future when the Madrid breaks again and causes I55 to fail (And it is planned to fail due to cost of a new one cheaper than retrofitting that 1955 era bridge to modern quake code as I40 was recently.) The I40 bridge is retrofitted and is a fortress. It has to be because the hopes and prayers of the entire US East coast depends on it.

I remember back into the early 90's flooding along the rivers where bridges were not usable and this type of dispatching scenario would kick in.

Question #21

 

Yes, I read that. I was just wanting to make sure I was reading it right.
