No exemption needed, your on private property. You don't even need a CDL to yard jockey. However it seems their using that as a way to work you like a slave, unless your ok with those hours.
HOS rules and working in yard.

My big question here is why the hell would they even consider a goat driver to need a log! If he just operates in the yard, he sure doesn't go out beyond the "local" area where logs are not required, just trip sheets. What am I missing here, (other than a brain. . .)

Yes.
One can work a 20 hour day in the yard if they want. But in order to be able do drive again he would need a 10 hour break.
One can work in the yard for 3 days straight and it would also be a non-issue. But in order to drive again that driver would have to take 34 hours off first. Although obviously any outfit requiring that is certainly worthy of the description "slave driver".
It's all about protecting the public by limiting driving time, since that is when the public is presumably "at risk".Dan.S Thanks this. -
