Driving Empty Across State Lines

Your boss is wrong. You need to follow all the normal regulations - markings, inspections, logs, registrations, etc.

 

are you staying within 150 air miles of your home terminal?

edit i guess i should read your posting you said where too and from and yes you will need all documentation logs ect

 

and then does your boss want you to pick up an Elephant and a trans am and head to TX, watch out for Bufford T justice and GOGOGO



You should kindly recommend to your boss that he calls JJ Keller and gets some reading material.

 

Not the best thing to do,if stopped it will be expensive and time consuming. You do need credentials, and will need to follow all rules and regulations.

There is no reason for you to be exempt.

 

I'm betting that you and your boss don't work for an actual trucking company. I'm betting that you guys are a manufacturer or something similar, and do your own trucking sort of as an afterthought. I worked for an outfit like that once.
The "boss" may have been an efficient manager for the plant, but was totally clueless about DOT laws. After costing his company huge fines, (not to mention a good, but dumb, driver who can no longer drive,) his company sent the boss packing. Best move they ever made.
DO NOT let some ahole that doesn't know what he is talking about, make you lose your license. It is way to valuable for that. Go somewhere that operates at least more or less legitimately.

 

Well as far as logs that is only if you are traveling 150 air miles from your original point but there is a clause in there for only transporting a companys own products that means like a private not for hire carrier than there is diffrent rules may want to check into the fmcsa or your state dot to see what applys

 

OP says he's traveling from Florida to Virginia, sounds like it's less than 150 miles right?
