local hos regulation

crossing state lines don't matter. it's a flat out 100 mile radius.

I know a cement company in utah that hauls powder from wyoming. 2 trips a day. 11 hours. the trip is 95 miles one way. no log books

 

Check your Il dmv site.

Here in CAL if its a ca load. We run 80/8 and drive 12/15. Fed Hos only apply to interstate loads.

 

It is my understanding that you can't drive past your 14 hour window. They can still make you do non-driving duties when you get back. As for the logs, my colleagues stand correct... you don't have to fill out a log unless you go past that mentioned mileage radius.

 

Every state has their own HOS laws, some are lazy and just reference the feds therefore making the federal laws apply to the state. Other states (like the CA example someone gave) are very lax for intrastate work. But.....it is not just the 150 mile radius. Remember, the 150 mile rule is in the federal laws, if you are within a single state, hauling freight with the bills showing shipper and consignee both in the same state the federal laws don't matter. You can go from San Diego to Sacramento and forget about the feds.

 

Well now, you are working an 80 hour work week. And I will bet you are not getting paid overtime for any of it. There is no way I would work like that, unless I was in the early stages of trying to start up my own business. Man you need to have some type of life, outside of work. Not to mention that I think your rear end is hanging out a mile there.

Do yourself a favor and put your foot down. If they fire you, so what, you will be better off than working as a slave.

 

OK so I have a very similar question and situation, so far it's about as clear as mud how to handle this. I am hoping to get the straight dope. Here goes;

My State: CO
My boss: Small private utility contractor
My Job: Shuttle his gear from job to job and to the yard and dump (less than 100 air miles, longest trip is usually 20 miles)
His trucks: Semi's, side Dumps and Vacuum's pulling split deck trailers loaded with drills, generators, hoses and fittings.
My hours: Mon-Fri, I start at the yard at 6am. I drive to and from jobs and the dump through the day, I finish around 6pm but sometimes 7pm or even 8pm.
The company policy is no Logs. I have Sat and Sunday off (so far)...

My Question?: Am I Leagal? If Not what do I need to do to run legally?

I have only been with this outfit 1 week and the pay is fine and I don't mind the long days (I used to work more than this in the oil patch). The wife loves that I am home at night. I want to make sure this doesn't screw my nearly spotless MVR.

 

When I was local. we had to a log for all days over 12 hours..30 pre/post and 30 minute lunch plus 11 hours onduty/drive..60/7 hos.

 

What snowwy said. Other wise, you should have a daily stop sheet, (in other words, it IS a type of log,) that shows your location and time of your stops. At least that is the way it USED to be...

 

hey neighbor!!!!!!!!! (longmont myself)

You're legal, as long as there is some way to show your hours worked. (i.e a time clock or even a sign in sheet. DOT/state patrol will never bother you. I actually kept a log when I had my own company since I didn't have a time clock or any other way to show it. They never asked. simply didn't care.
