log book questions

I dont think you do provided you use a truck that is based out of that yard. If its the other drivers truck (based say, more then 100 miles) they may be able to get you for log book violation. Im not 100% sure though

 

Ask your boss to give you copies of time sheets showing you worked local and keep copies of the past 7 days with you . If you rescue a truck have a copy of the driver's log book showing he drove it to the point you picked it up .

 

If you are driving a bobtail truck you will be fine!

However, if that load in the trailer came from out of state, then that is considered Interstate Commerce...you are then required to have a log covering your previous 8 days of duty. It's not the truck, but the freight being moved that determines Interstate v Intrastate...and the 100 air mile radius does not cover Interstate movement.

the rule is very vague in it's writing and this will create quite the argument.....just watch!

A bunch of "local" guys with this company I drive for....do a daily log "just in case"....never hurts to be prepared!

 

Yes , it might be wise to keep a log for time records .

You need to check your state's intrastate driving regulations . I believe you were in violation working 16 hours .

 

This is true . Now if he's a yard jockey and moves trailers in the yard that came from another state does that mean he doesn't get the 100 mile exemption ?

 

He had 2 violations he crossed state line and had more then 12 hrs worked. He needed to have a log for both those reasons. As for your last 7 days hours you worked you need to get ahold of pay roll to get those for you and that way you can transfer that info to a log book. We just went through this with my company.

 

Geez people, stop guessing and read the regs. The OP's company is correct. No logbook is required for this driver, in this situation, from what was stated.
Where the trailer originated does not matter.
