I always operated under the notion that the 'not for hire' placard was for personal transport of goods, like a farmer hauling his own sod or something, but needed a log assuming he exceeded a 100 mile radius or crossed state lines.
Driving personally owned bobtail without a log book?

I run a company truck but also have a personal truck, now by the time I get in I'm out of hours. [/quote]
I see no one is asking questions from you so here goes.
Your personal truck, is that a pickup or a commercial vehicle?

I herd you could run a personal bobtail truck with "not for hire" written on it without a log like any other personal transportation, anyone know if this is legal?[/QUOTE]
Sorry to go against the grain here but no "not for hire" means nothing in this situation and if you are using a truck like a tractor for your personal vehicle, depending on the state, you will have to register is as a non-commercial vehicle - some states require an RV title and tag. As for logging, it depends on the truck's title and tags and the state. -
I'm in indiana, and it's a bob tail Pete not a pick up truck, and your fine going against the grain, not that I don't enjoy reading comments people write cause I do but iv only gotten a couple helpful answeres through all the posts so if questions help ya give me a straight answere then fire away with them

I'm planning on taking the fifth wheel off and fabricating the equivalence of a truck bed for it so it can't be used for hauling so I don't know if it would still be considered a "commercial vehicle"

the configuration of a vehicle does not determine whether its a commercial motor vehicle or not. if its not used in a commercial operation, that's not a commercial vehicle.
JPenn Thanks this.
