    I have a question on logs. i just got hired as a fill in driver, I have my class a , the company runs class a and b equipment so I will be driving both. Most runs are outside of 150 miles. My question is when I'm covering a class b route do I need to log, how should I log it when I need to show last 7 days ? Thanks

    The logs track you, not the vehicle...so each day, when you fill out the log, you'll fill out the vehicle number, and it'll be either the tractor (for the A) or the straight truck (for the B), and you just log your work every day.

    Why would you log them differently?

    Logs (record of duty status) are required for all CMV's (vehicles over 10,000# GVWR, in commerce). That covers both A and B vehicles.

    They are teaching you wrong if they tell you state lines makes a difference on local.


    Grain moves regularly from MN, across IA, and into WI, and those guys don't log a regular log, you can work across borders into nearby areas without paying attention to logging, but you do have to report to the same location and return each day.
