Crossing state lines 100 mile exemption

Some areas have an "exemption" about figuring the difference between "INTERSTATE" and "INTRASTATE" deliveries/freight, and the use of the 100 mile rule.

CA looks at any crossing of state boundary as INTERSTATE and with that configuration, a log is required. Your local LEO would be a better way to get the answer you are looking for.

 

The 100 air-mile exemption is contained in federal regulations (49CFR395.1(e)). Crossing a state line (interstate commerce) does not cause you to lose the exemption.

 

I see nothing in the exemption regarding crossing of state lines.

Also look at the FMCSA Interstate Truck Driver's Guide to Hours of Service on page 8. Keep in mind that you have 12 hours to return to the reporting location from the time that you leave.

 

Keep in mind, like any comparison of Fed v local/State ordinance....the local/State can be more strict but not less strict.

In CA....any freight that "originated from, or is destined to" another State, is considered INTERSTATE. And the driver of that freight is now under INTERSTATE regulations and a log is required. The exception comes in if the freight is received and off loaded from the INTERSTATE trailer/container and loaded onto a local delivery unit.

 

Link the regulation for this please, as it applies to logbook requirements.

 

Otter is Right on this.... If your pulling a load out of california say to arizona or nevada they concider it Interstate due to the Commerce Rule. Now i do believe that if its from their own warehoue with their own product that might exempt them as long as they stay with in the 100 mile radius.. Same applies to racers if you cross state lines to race and your racing for money then its concidered Commerce and you are subjected to Interstate Laws...But the best way is to check with the local DOT...

 

What's 'right' is what's written in the green book. I don't see any of this in there.

 

I wish I could find the reg in the CA codes...what I know is from experience when I got a citation from the Livermore scale for exactly that....running Interstate freight without the log, since the freight originated from, and was being transported on the same "carrying unit" as where it originated from.

CA codes are a nightmare to find specific "explanations" without knowing the "key words" to bring it forward.

 

Interstate = Federal regulations = Green book = 100 air mile exemption. If you're running Interstate freight, the FMCSA regulations and exemptions from logging apply.
