100 Air-Mile Radius

You are not required to fill out a log with a graph grid if you come under the 100 air-mile radius

exception. The 100 air-mile radius exception applies for any day in which you:

• Drive within a 100 air-mile radius of your normal work reporting location,

• Return to your work reporting location and are released within 12 consecutive hours, and

• Follow the 8-hour off-duty and 10-hour driving requirements. Your motor carrier must keep time records of the times you

report for and are released from work each day, and the total hours on duty each day. You do not have to have these records in your vehicle.

This exception is optional. For example, you and your employer may choose to use a logbook even though you are within the 100 air-mile radius, so that you do not have to be released from work within 12 hours that day.


This regulation is found in Section 395.1(e)(1).

 

I know a bus driver. She drives 12 hours, 2 days a week. I think that is too much, but I stay quiet. Class B is all you need for a bus. She lives close to me. She asked one time if She could drive my truck. Can you use a 18 with overdrive, in each gear? My bus is automatic. Long story short. 5 gears, flip a switch & do it again. She loves it. I was nervous.

 

I used to work that kind of shift also ... but it seemed to me that even if you stayed within the 100 mile radius, you still had to keep logs if you crossed over a state line.

 

OP mentioned that they did not cross state lines, so they would be Intra-state. If Inter-State, then yes.

 

Punch in/punch out. - You do not have to show On duty/Off Duty during those hours. Now if you go over the 100 mile limit or go over state lines, you now fall under federal regs, you are required to have logs, this is to include the 7 days prior/current.

The document pretty much says it all.

Based upon your original post you are on a time card, Intra-State, less than 100 miles, work <=12 hour days, 10 hours driving, 8 hours off.

"I work 4:30PM-1:00AM. When I punch out at 1:00AM would I be in violation if I worked OT from 5:30AM-9:30AM?"

4:30 pm to 1 am = 8.5 hours
1 am to 5:30 am = 4.5 hours
5:30 am - 9:30 am = 4 hours

4:30 pm to 9:30 am = 17 hours working = violation
1 am to 5:30 am = 4.5 hours - must have 8 hours down time - Violation.


To follow a 12 hour day you can go from 4:30 pm to 4:30 am, but not to exceed 10 hours of driving.
