    I have a hot job lead and need to go to work bad ~ I was emailed this:

    is this factual as I have not even started on regs & almost dozen answers here have proven when looked up on places like FMCSA so if this person is being straight with me about the 150 radius that means I can get time DOT regulated and utilize the TX class-A CDL to match the heavy decades experience already in place and start getting hours & miles .....

    I sure hope this is within regs....

    he is correct, It means YOU do not need to fill out a log book, but your company still has too. One way or another someone has to account for your seat time.

    FMCSA states that if under the 100/150 mile rule the driver can use time records in lieu of RODS.

    I agree.. LOL
    The company has to fill out a log book? I don't think I have ever heard that one.

    Now, as for the op.. partially correct & partially not. If you run ONLY within 100 mile radius then you don't have to fill out a log book. However, if you run outside of that 100 mile radius sometimes, then it would be wise to do so as, outside the 100 mile radius, you have to provide your last eight days status which includes a log book filled out for the last eight days.

    It does make sense.§Carrier must maintain for six months a time record that shows:
    -The time driver reports for duty
    -The time driver is released from duty
    -The total number of hours the driver is on duty each day

    This is true but that isn't saying the company has to fill out a log book. Only to keep time sheets etc. Has nothing to do with log books.

    either way, the company still has to keep a record on their employee of their hours on/off duty

    The last eight days thing causes headaches for expedite cargo van drivers that unexpectedly get a placarded hazmat load . It won't be a violation if they drove over 11 hours or took less than 10 hour breaks in the days not hauling hazmat but they must comply with the 70 hours in 8 days rule while logging
