Log book Question

I believe that a local driver that only runs in the local area can use the logbook or the paysheet for proof. If they are stopped there has to be a confirmation as to when they started work for the day. There is alot of the loading and unloading so logging on line 4 is usually acceptable. There has to be proof of when they leave for the day.

When the driver is one that sometimes goes local and non local, I would recommend a logbook for all of the days. This provides the proof of the local versus non local.


Just my thoughts on this.

 

Notarps, Wiseone, Ummm I can't remember the other names. I see a conflicting Q & A on the 2 I posted. It seems to me "which I could be wrong" one is saying you should have the last 7 days and the other is saying no you only need the day you are going over the 100 air mile radius. So please all, what do you think? Use logic's and common sense!

 

I reread the post again. It is confusing.

The first question deals with a driver who does both and therefore must have the logbook.

The second question deals with a driver who suddenly or rarely goes outside of the 100 mile rule. I understand this to mean it is assumed he was local except for the day he was not. Therefore he would have to only reflect the log showing the different operation.

Most confusing.

 

You only need to log the days you operate outside the 100 air mile radius exemption.

I'll make this real easy for all.

All states can make Intrastate Commerce exemptions, this is why the confusion from state to state.

Everyone operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle needs a log book period....Unless you can use the Agriculture Exemption, 100 Air Mile Exemption or 150 Air Mile Exemption.

If you aren't under these three exemptions, you need to keep 8 days log. Even if you've had a 34 hr. restart.

Relax,,, all rules will probably change again in next 6 months.

 

I maybe doing something wrong...sometimes when I stop for a stretch break and take it for 15 minutes or so I'll log it off duty with the notation of ERI (Enroute Inspection). I've been sort of concerned about this. Technically this is just a walk around inspection (no flat tires, lights on, and coupling system in good shape).

Should I log this time differently (in order to properly record off duty).

 

When you do a load check you can flag it straight down without coming off line 3 This can be done in less than 15 minutes. You just need to show the city and state.
