Log book vs. 100 mile radius rule

should be able to log just for that day, or at least that's how i do it anyway.

 

if running a log, the previous week has to show, even if you need 1 day.

my advise is run a log so you are covered if you run out of the area.

some companies use the log as the time sheet. covering both bases.

 

I run within a 100 mile radius but because my company is in Nebraska and I drive thru Iowa I have to carry a log book.

 

you only need a log when going over the 12 hours. technically speaking.

it seems some of you guys also have other situations that require it.

it's kind of a confusing situation in the interpretation of the ruling.

 

There is no Federal regulation stating that.

 

Really?I'm going to ask my company why we have to do logs then,thanks.

 

For the four minutes it takes to fill the Log out just do it.... my goodness really.... then at the DOT stop you have no worries...

Are you filling out a pre-trip or post trip inspection?

 

I work 13.00 a day so as a local driver within a 100 mile radius,am I required to do logs?

 

It is considered 100 air miles from where your office is . A 100 mile radius from that point . Im sure if your over it by a few miles they won't be sticklers but who knows ? A few miles I mean 2 maybe 3 if your 25 over you better cover yourself and have a logbook .
