    I am a new truck driver and I have a Class C Non CDL license. Recently I was pulled over inside of a weigh station and has received a ticket for missed information inside of my log book. My question is how many miles can I drive without needing a log book??

    Yes. I think it is 100 air miles from your "home terminal". But if you cross any state line(s), I think this exemption no longer apples? I might be wrong on that.

    You are wrong on that.

    100 air miles which equals approximately 115 statute miles.

    State lines do not matter.

    We need info dude!

    What state are you licensed in? A Class C is typically a CDL loophole license that allows endorcements to be added to a under 26k vehicle. What is it where you are?

    What were you driving? What was the GVW?

    I'm assuming your most likely log exempt, what do you do for a living? How far do you drive and do you start and end work at the same location every day?

    state lines haven't had anything to do with short-haul / 100 air-ride rule for at least 10 years. There are a few requirements to use the 100 air-ride rule besides staying within 100 air-miles.

    You can drive 100 air miles without needing a log book as long as you end your day in the same place that you reported for work, within 12 hours. You must still have your 10 consecutive hour break. Thats for a property carrying commercial vehicle. 395.1(e). You don't need to have the log book or anything on you. You/the company must have your start and end times each day, like a regular time clock. IF you cannot complete your run within 12 hours, or get dispatched elsewhere, you start a log book as soon as you become "aware" that you will no longer meet the requirements of the exemption. What was this "missing" information?

    Why did you even bother to stop at that weigh station?

    I see that road sign many times everyday - " all trucks commercial vechiles must stop at weigh station"

    You got a non-commercial DL - keep going and have a nice trip dude:)
