True.
But if you give them an inch, they will go a mile. -
From 1996 to October, 1999 I did Cobol for an insurance company and heard for the last two years hearing your no computer programmer. So after 4 ½ months of being a pizza delivery driver, I accepted an offer to enter a stock broker trainee program. After 3 months I passed the series 7 and 63 exams and was a stock broker. The stock brokerage gig lasted another 7 months and in January 2001 I was let go from that position. I spent a year taking C++ classes and SQL classes trying to get back into computer programming, but my unemployment insurance ran out. I got on my hands and knees and went into Wal-Mart and asked for a position. It lasted two years and it really was not easy to get that job but I was able to resign instead of getting fired! I ended up talking to another employee that said his son was a truck driver and made $50,000 to $60,000. Since I had not made more than $41,700 as a computer programmer, it sounded really good, but you have to understand I was working at Wal-Mart and hated every minute of it. I entered a 10 week truck driving school at a community college 50 miles from my home while still working 40 hours a week at Wal-Mart and now I have a CDL with tank, double/triple, and HAZMAT Endorsements. No bus/passenger endorsements for me because I just dont deal effectively with people.
I spend way too much time on the YAHOO finance message boards trying to figure out just how long it is going to be before Yellow/Roadway, (YRCW) goes bankrupt. If YRCW goes bankrupt, then I can get my job back full time and I would not have any spare time to kill on this message board. What I figured out is that there is a lot of opinions and definitely way too much emotion over there, but you have to understand that many of these guys are just several years away from retiring and their world is being turned upside down. Others were working for rock solid profitable trucking companies with no debt I might add only to wake up one morning to learn that their company was being acquired by Yellow and that Yellow was using the equity in their company to borrow the maximum amount of money to buy them with which would become lethal amounts of debt. Did I learn anything else while on the Yahoo message board, sure, always use spell checker because if you dont they will just jump all over you and you are just a dumb stereotypical truck driver that doesnt know about anything including the trucking business and how it operates.
As for me, now I am hearing that I might not be a truck driver. I havent had a ticket in those five years and yet with these last two companies I am learning things that I will never do again. I am just trying to cover my butt for the next time I get called into the scale house. -
Since I don't need to fill out a log book from either carrier, will not be driving outside the 100 mile radius, how would I get caught? Who would know? -
smoky,
my guess is his receipts did not match his log. Toll receipts, fuel, old bill of lading that are time stamped. -
psanderson Thanks this.

(e) Short-haul operations
(e)(1) 100 air-mile radius driver. A driver is exempt from the requirements of Section 395.8 if:
(e)(1)(i) The driver operates within a 100 air-mile radius of the normal work reporting location;
(e)(1)(ii) The driver, except a driver-salesperson, returns to the work reporting location and is released from work within 12 consecutive hours;
(e)(1)(iii)(A) A property-carrying commercial motor vehicle driver has at least 10 consecutive hours off duty separating each 12 hours on duty;
(e)(1)(iii)(B) A passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicle driver has at least 8 consecutive hours off duty separating each 12 hours on duty;
(e)(1)(iv)(A) A property-carrying commercial motor vehicle driver does not exceed 11 hours maximum driving time following 10 consecutive hours off duty; or
(e)(1)(iv)(B) A passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicle driver does not exceed 10 hours maximum driving time following 8 consecutive hours off duty; and
(e)(1)(v) The motor carrier that employs the driver maintains and retains for a period of 6 months accurate and true time records showing:
(e)(1)(v)(A) The time the driver reports for duty each day;
(e)(1)(v)(B) The total number of hours the driver is on duty each day;
(e)(1)(v)(C) The time the driver is released from duty each day; and
(e)(1)(v)(D) The total time for the preceding 7 days in accordance with §395.8(j)(2) for drivers used for the first time or intermittently.
Pay particular attention to (e)(1)(v), this seems to get the best of them. Good luck. -

And I would suggest you read the rule again because it's not a 100-mile radius, it's a 100-air mile radius......big difference.
OOPS.......Sorry, Bear, I didn't see your post.
And what happens when you fall asleep, God forbid, and kill someone? How many people will know then when you're charged with at the least manslaughter?Last edited: Apr 9, 2009

I'm just a dumb old ex-Navy airplane driver with about 4,000 hours in an A-4 Skyhawk, 2,000 hours in an A-7 Corsair II, and about 6,000 hours in my twin engine Piper Aztec before I sold it. My B/A major, were in History and Pre-Med from the University of Iowa and my minor was Psycology that I did in 5-years.Last edited: Apr 9, 2009
