Part Timers & ELDs

The company will have to set him up as a driver and give him a user name and pass code so he can log on. He can email his last 7 days to himself and or print them so he will have them handy......should not be a problem.......

 

What is this about if a driver doesnt work more than 8 days in a month, he is exempt?

 

You can work every day and never have to log IF you stay inside the 100 air-mile radius, you're released from duty within 12 hours of starting, you return to your starting location, and your employer keeps a record of your hours worked. You are allowed 8 days in any 30 day period (similar to your 70 hours in 8 days...it's a rolling period going back 30 days from today) where you don't qualify for the short haul exemption (days where you're required to keep a log) and remain exempt from the ELD mandate. If you reach day 9 having to log, you'd better be running an ELD.

 

I take a werkend trip now and then for an outfit I used to drive for. Never more than 8 days in 30. I dont drive for any other company.

Paper logs for me, by God. If i ever had to elog i would just stay home.

 

ok worse

I work for a temp agency

Monday I"m at company A
Tuesday I'm at company B
Wednesday I'm off
Thursday I'm at company A
Friday I'm at company C

more than 1 might be over 100 air miles. Even if I print it out at the end of my shift, it will still end at 6pm (for example) and not run thru until midnight. How do I show my day off? Company B's will show off duty Monday, but that won't be true.

I'm seriously worried about this.

BTW, not one company yet has created a log in for me for their E-logs. I keep my own paper logs for every day and just change part of the company name (I list both). NO company even wants their copy of my paper logs. (i have a whole stack in my front seat of my car that have been "turned in". The company that actually holds my driver files is the temp agency but they don't own any trucks so they have no E-log systems.

 

Has anyone running part time/ 8 day out of 30 been DOT inspected yet? I'm wondering because I run under this but imagine when I get inspected the officer isn't going to know what I'm talking about and give me a hard time.

 

Print the appropriate part of the regulation and carry it with you

 

The drivers I work with (I am in compliance in the office) all have a copy of any exemptions that pertain to them. For example, we are a driveaway/towaway operation, when the vehicle being driven is our commodity, that makes the driver exempt from using an ELD. We were already told that the 8 days in a 30 day rolling period cancel out the exemption by a DOT officer in New Mexico, which is not true. Keep track of your hours on paper.
