does any one know that if you dont make money (earn a revenue) you can drive your truck and trailer any where you desire and dont have to follow HOS rules or use EOBRS/log books? i learned this a while back in a conversation I had with a member of the ATA and then i called the FMCSA with the same question and got the same answer.. Not if you are not generating revenue..

Its true, I called and asked if I could use my Tractor Trailer to move my family across country and if I did am I subject to HOS Rules etc. I had already done this two times but with all of the hubbub about HOS and EOBRS I decided to call the FMCSA and ATA and ask why I can do this using the same Truck and Trailer. And the answer was because I am not generating a revenue/charging for a service... 2 pickups and a shed loaded with stuff on a stepdeck..

Today I logged 709 miles in 11 hrs, all legal, logged it as I drove it, no dividing miles by speed, etc. Logged a 15 min fuel stop and 15 min lunch break. Avg speed of 64.5 mph. I use paper logs but kept track of my time with my GPS and I arrived 3 min after my ETA, which was exactly 11.5 hrs after I left.

It really takes some getting used to... part of the adjustment from a 8-5 life to trucking. -
If I am not rushed and the load is scheduled so I can't get layover pay I often run 12-12 starting at the same time every day. Head out just before sunrise, drive 6 hours or so, take an hour for lunch, drive 4 more and park for 12 hours starting at the same time the next day.
