    I have been asked to deliver some equipment from Boston to SC with a Ryder 20' box truck. It will only weigh about 2000#. My question is its our equipment but its over the 150 mile trip limit. Is a log the only thing I need to worry about?

    If you would be required to log less than 8 times in 30 days, you are exempt from using an eld. You would need to log the previous 7 days also.

    Over 10,000 lbs GVW across state lines means logbook, medical card, DOT #, etc.

    See if you can move it with a 3/4 ton pickup.

    What about all these guys running a fully loaded 26 foot Uhaul across country? I can guarantee they don’t run any logs. I’d roll with it.

    Uhaul isn’t a commercial vehicle if the renter is hauling their own belongings.
