    Hey all,

    I've been in business for about a year now and I still need to do my new entrant safety audit. I have my authority in AZ but I've been working and staying locally in Southern California 99% of the time within 150 air miles. I haven't been keeping logs due to this and I'm worried it's not gonna fly with the audit. Has anybody had a similar situation? Is there a way for me to declare a "terminal" address somehow to show that? I didn't see anything on the MCS-150 for a terminal address.

    Thank you all for your input.

    You’re away from your from where you started your authority. You’ve been in Violation since you been in COMMIEFORNIA. The 150 miles exemption(100 miles in California) is from your home base. Also, you have to keep track of your hours, either by Elog, Time Clock(punch in and out from home terminal) or PAPER LOG(within your home 20 150 mile radius). DOT/CHP is gonna have a field day with you. Goodluck.

    PS, Hope you have a Commiefornia compliant truck.

    Not only that, I had to register my company with California because I lease a yard there, which means I am a foreign entity in the state.

    Don't have to rent/lese/own anything there to have a nexus. Any corporate entity performing Intrastate makes a nexus.

    That's true. I only used my example because we did that before the land was leased.

    Thanks guys. I would imagine there is some sort of exception to local work when away from home

    There is NO exemption for you. You need to back track from day one you entered in Commiefornia and fill out paper log sheets each day you been away from Arizona. You are beyond your local status of Arizona. Even though you’re running local in California, you need to have a full log fill out. If you ever get audited or get pulled in one of those random check points that they set up in here locally, you’re in for a rude awakening.

    That’s no longer true. The 150 exemption now states that you only start and stop your days at the same location. Where you’re from no longer has any bearing on being able to use it or not. But he would still need time cards or something for his days worked, he can’t just toss everything out the window because he’s using the exemption.
