I just did this in class... if you stay in state lines, and within a 100 air-mile radius, you are not required to have a logbook IF a) you report to the same place at the beginning and end of the day, and b) your company keeps your time records for the last 6 months. You still have to follow the 11, 14, and the 70-8 or 60-7 rules though. if after the 70 hrs have been hit, you cant drive a cdl veh but you can still work.
part 395.5 for rules regarding passenger vehicle and the 60/70 hr rules
part 395.1 (e) for rule regarding the shorthaul exception (logbook)
Cdl hos and non cdl vehicals

my mistake, just read thru 395.1 again, and for passenger vehicles its 12 hr on duty, in which you can drive 10, then you have to have 8 off.

Now that raises a question for killerq123 . Does your limo company operate outside Florida ? I'm assuming they do if DOT told them they needed log books . They must have DOT authority .killerq123 Thanks this. -
You can find a driving job somewhere . Ask around . I know a company in Orlando that let a driver keep driving after he failed a drug test - until news got to the corporate office in MA . Even then they let the driver take a counseling program then start driving again .
It's all here . http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/drug/engtesting.htm
The Feds say if you test clean and participate in an approved program you can work . The option is up to the employer . -
