light trucks (under 10001 pounds

Only if you're not hauling cargo. If you haul cargo the weight doesn't matter. Not that it stops some hotshotters.

 

If haul commercial cargo yes.... Cargo could mean private items so just clarifying for future readers

 

Hours of Service
Apparently only if your over 10,000, which includes combined weight. ie truck and trailer combined is over 10k.

 

Not having to log it doesn't make you exempt.

 

I'm suspecting not, but don't quote me on that. Though it's good to have some solid details for the HOS scholars to work with.

 

You sound like a blacktop paving tool truck to me. We taint logged nothing in our time doing that.

As the other poster stated, if you are hired to haul a half ton of... widgets from Little Rock to say... Louisville KY overnight and paid for it to make a living doing that, yes you are involved in interstate commerce and will be logging etc etc etc.

But if you are just going to a little job site like paving a driveway or building a pool or something down in the next county, no. Your time clock will be your hours. Not the log book.

Your truck, your private property which you OWN is NOT subject to rules.

 

No your not hauling cargo commercially your hauling around a private companies private work supplies aka your not for hire
Key word is commercial NOT cargo
