Log book Question

I believe is like 150 or 200 miles range. But if you are concurned, just log it (and back log for a week) just in case. No matter what. The other part of the law says your company pretty much logs for you. If there not, I would just in case anyways.

 

I believe it's 100 air miles radius. I would log/back log. You don't have to have a full week's worth if you can show a 34 hr reset, I think.

 

Click on the link below and it discusses all the local regulations and if you click on REgulations towards the top right it will give you the rule. I swore there was something special for drivers working for a farm, however I am quickly skimming it so look closely. Sorry in a hurry.

Also 150 air mile radius is for NON CDL drivers!
100 air mile radis is for CDL drivers and the below must apply.

The 34 hour reset does not relieve the need for 7 previous days. Many drivers have found this out the hard way.

 

Illinois allows 150 miles for CDL drivers within the state. So there could be similar rules in other states.

 

True I was not thinking about individual states. Sorry, not a pro # the local stuffy, just the 100 air mile radius in Indiana

 

I run local in NY also and log anything over 100 miles from home base which is approx. 2 times a week and you will need to have your last seven days logged, I usually put on duty not driving on local days and leave log in personal car. the local DOT does not ask me for it knowing that I am local.

 

Here is your question answered by DOT, however I am confused so you all debate this one. I feel the answer is, if you are a normal local driver and go over the road you don't have to provide your last 7 days worth of logs. Keep in mind the recap is not a requirement of DOT. This seems to be a conflict in Q & A's to me?

Question 4: Must drivers, alternating between interstate and intrastate commerce, record their intrastate driving time on their record of duty status?

Guidance: Yes, to account for all on-duty time for the prior 7 or 8 days preceding an interstate movement.

Question 20: When a driver fails to meet the provisions of the 100 air-mile radius exemption (§395.1(e)), is the driver required to have copies of his/her records of duty status for the previous seven days? Must the driver prepare daily records of duty status for the next seven days?

Guidance: The driver must only have in his/her possession a record of duty status for the day he/she does not qualify for the exemption. The record of duty status must cover the entire day, even if the driver has to record retroactively changes in status that occurred between the time that the driver reported for duty and the time in which he/she no longer qualified for the 100 air-mile radius exemption. This is the only way to ensure that a driver does not claim the right to drive 10 hours after leaving his/her exempt status, in addition to the hours already driven under the 100 air-mile exemption.


What do you think is the answer after reading the "2" above posted Q & A's?

I am confused .

 

Maybe they don't ask because they know it's not a requirment? Not sure, read my above post??? I am not being a smart ellic, being for real and trying to debate.
