After 14 hours, can you drive a non-commercial vehicle for your company?

As long as you're logging the extra time on duty and are not claiming either short haul or 150 mile radius exemptions, what you are doing is perfectly legal.

 

I just saw you said you're hourly. Do you fill out a log book every day or just go by your time card?

 

Driving a nonCMV while paid is on duty , line 2 .
I was a supervisor for a company that would have vacuum trucks operated on site for 2 or 3 weeks at a time . I would drive the trucks to and from the site with another employee following in my company crewcab . We would work 12 hour shifts and I would drive crews to and from hotels in the crewcab . This was logged on duty . This was before 2005 and no restarts existed . At the end of the job if no other driver was available to drive the CMV back they would pay me to stay in a hotel to get hours back .

 

A company non-CDL vehicle is on duty not driving. You can work all night after your 14 as long as you get a 10 hour break in between shifts. You also must follow the HOS and not try to claim any local exemptions. You can't have the best of both worlds. When you are driving 11 in 14 the 100 mile radius is redundant.

How many hours are you driving the big truck?


Line 2 rick??

 

oops! double trouble!

 

Right that's why I asked if he is filling a log book every day or using time card. Most companies that stay within 100 miles don't usebligs..they just keep track with time cards. If he isn't filling a log and using the air mile exemption he can only work 12 hours and then be relieved of duty.

 

That's why I edited the post above. I posted from page 1 and didn't see yours until after.

It sounds like he is driving 14 hours and they have their exemptions messed up??

We'll use this rule from here and this one from there.... lol.

 

I dunno. I used to do welding gases and such and ran under the air radius exemption...if I worked over 12 hours I just had to fill out a log sheet for that day and do the 11/14. Usually only needed that when I was filing cylinders or loading a huge order for the next day.

 

You can elect to use time sheets and no logs if under the 100 mile rule. Notice elect.

You can also do logs that allow you to run the full 14 hour window.

But, I believe the truck has to be a sleeper?

 

you got me . Line 4
