    I have just been offered a local gig with a contractor starting next Monday.....
    Running under 14 and under a 100 mile radius.
    Has anyone ever done this before?
    IIRC....We have to maintain logs for 14 days after coming off of OTR correct?

    On the instances that you do have to go over the hundred mile radius, you only have to keep a log for that day.

    if you work over 12. then you have to do a log. you get 1/2 hr for pre and post inspection. 1/2 hr for lunch. leaving you 11 to drive.

    your confined to 60 hours 7 days.

    don't know about the 7 days thing though. never had to keep a record in the truck. but the company does keep the time cards. don't know how long though.

    you all keep talking about 100 miles. when i got pulled into scale for a fix it ticket on windshield. they said it was 150 mile radius

    that was 6 years ago

    Perhaps you should read the regs, as you are incorrect.

    sorry about your luck. but any local company would tell you otherwise.
