100 mile rule

Man up. Hahah listen to those old timers.

 

Odometer reading may, or may not, be relevant. The rule is a 100 air mile (115 statute miles) radius.

And for five miles? Personally I wouldn't worry about it.

 

I also agree it's not that important, but there is a catch. If you are ever in a serious fatal accident and the state does an investigation or if there is a lawsuit. If the Attorneys or Law Enforcement finds through their investigations you were going outside this 100/150 mile radius and NOT logging. You might have a problem. It's this what if situation that to my way of thinking makes it prudent to follow the letter of the law.

 

Time's 2 on what lostNfound said.

 

I don't think it's that much your concern . Your employer will be held accountable if they are wrong . Here's one issue though . If you do go outside the radius then you do have to log . That log would have to show the hours worked in the past 7 days to prove you are not exceeding your 70 hours in 8 days or past 6 days if your employer is a 5 day a week operation .
You don't need log book pages for these days but you'd better have copies of time cards or other pay records with you .

 

here's a thought if your company don't require a log then run one for your self then if you have an accident or some other issue your covered, simple logic.

 

We had a book just like a log book except the only entries you put in was the time you came to work and when you left. Rule is as the crow flies. You can check with different places to find the true distance but hub miles or off the speedometer should never be used.
