ELD exemption

You are exempt due to this (someone correct me if i'm wrong).

• Drivers who use paper RODS for not more than 8 days out of every 30-day period.

 

Just make sure you or whom ever your asking for is ready to explain that exemption. You may encounter a Super-Trooper who is out for blood.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but this question has been in my mind. I run under the short haul exemption as well. But, like Badiola said, we have a run that requires us to fill out a log sheet. I only run it once or twice a week, no more than 8 trips in a 30 day period. However, I start at 8 pm and finish by 8am the next morning. So the trip is actually on two log sheets. If I were to be checked, does that count as one day, or two, even though it's only one trip?

 

One day equals a 24 hour period.

 

So, under my scenario, I should be good I guess? I suppose I could put it all on one sheet to simplify.

This is why I wish we'd just bite the bullet and put the nanny boxes in. Saves on such confusion

 

There are 3 criteria for that exemption. You mentioned two.
How long do you work daily? To use the timecard exemption it must be no more than 12 hours. If you hit the 12th hour you must paper lig just like if going over 100 air mile radius.
