Can I be exempt from ELD

Call the dot or highway patrol in your state.. most officers will answer questions. Like agriculture products here are 150 mike exempt and other products such as sand was only 100 air mile exempt.

 

I understand the 150 mile exemption is open to anyone. You just do it. No piece of paper or approval is required.
The DOT will use BOL's and fuel records to determine if the exemption is misused during an inspection.

I think you will need to keep a log book or daily time sheet.

 

As long as your home address is in your 150 mile radius your fine. I’ve ran under it for 10 years. Your are supposed to keep a timesheet of your hours ran, but you are not required to have it in the truck. It can be at home in your office.

 

Sounds to me like 2 exemptions apply?

150 air mile &
8 day
Just run a time card & leave it at the barn/home 20

I run paper because of 31yr old truck.
Nobody gave me an actual exemption document to show

 

You don’t need an exemption from the state in writing .

you’re exemption is written in the rule book

if you’re inside the air mile radius from your home terminal , you don’t need a ELD or a logbook

you are required to keep a time card but it can be kept at your terminal
