HOS rules on private land?

Are they havesting their own logs? It sounds like they are 2nd down the line. Kind of like a saw mill.

 

And I suppose they should also haul the cow to market to have it milked by your analogy, instead of bulk hauling the secondary?


Either way, it's less than 100 air miles, it's subject to a 16 hour day, and it involves, albeit circuitously, or as a by product of actual cutting/grinding a product of the soil.

Also notice the second part.

 

The driver that told you that he is putting himself off duty on private land will get you in trouble, my advice to you, ask your state DOT or stop at a scale and talk to one of the officer's inside before they talk to you about it with a ticket and fine..............use your head and always double check your information and question eveything.........

 

No offense, Allow me, but, local driving does run different rules than OTR. I presumed he meant his 10 hours for 2 loads included on duty time as he verifies and that meant he could do his driving of 12 within 16 which is legal.

In addition, Aggregate haulers aren't the worse, governments are as they can throw the rules out the window because of "emergency" conditions, and not have to worry about ramifications. Salting/Plowing crews are at it for days, 36 hours sometimes, because it's an emergency. But OTR drivers can't drive past the 14 no matter what, even in an emergency. (Theoretically)

 

Ummm.....retiredguest, you might want to re-read that section. You only need 8 hours off-duty for a daily reset.

It really gets confusing, which is why it's always best to read the rules oneself. According to this, you can work 16 hour days, driving 12 hours a day and total 80 for the week (5 days) which gets you 80 hours a week, well under the 112 you're limited to in an 8 day period. Now the tricky part of this for you to be aware of is that according to this, your employer can allow you to drive no more than 12 hours in a 16 hour day, but only for a maximum of 28 days in one or two periods per calendar year, and I suspect that's why he wants you logging, because to do this, you're required to log.

Good Luck.

 

Your local do logs for your boss and tell dot your doing local work and drive.
