Being "on call"

I don't think you would be required to go by HOS or log anything if you stayed within the allowed radius which is what 150 air miles of your operating terminal?

 

When you are operating in state under the mile rules, you are governed by the clock of 12 hours.

It falls under the 10,000 lbs rule. Does present an interesting question. Because wreckers require a cdl, but no log. The hour sheet is going to be a problem.

 

All tow truck drivers are on call 24/7 just ask any that you know, i have a friend that was a tow truck driver, he was on call when he wasnt at the shop 24/7.. so if you like that kinda life go for it,,

 

Anything over 12 hours they must fill out a log sheet.

 

Im not sure let me see if DOT has anything.

If I can't find anything quickly I will try tomorrow.

 

what state do you live in

 

Ok I have to hit the sack. I gotta force myself to sleep because of this time change and my lazy butt sleeping in. Sorry but I could not find anything regarding tow trucks in the Federal but Ohio state said their drivers must follow the Federal dot regulations of HOurs of service so I am sure there is something in there

 

Here is something I just ran acrossed regarding Tow truck drivers. Read this and see if it answers your question and let me know when you can please.
