Logging within 50 mile radius

No such thing>Ask your boss to SHOW you the rule in the "GreenBook".

 

Never heard of a 50-mile rue. I've logged trips like that just like you did

 

Maybe it is something like the 10 second rule when you drop food on the floor!

 

there's no such rule. you don't need a log PERIOD unless your working over 12 hours or driving OUT of the 100 mile radius.

 

Straight from the FMCSA ...

i hauled dirt one time. 2 loads of dirt per day. 650 miles was the total driven for the day. from leaving yard to arriving back to yard. 90 mile radius. about 15 miles from the dirt load site is a scale. got pulled in one time for a windshield crack. gave me a fix it ticket.

he asked for logs. and i told him i don't have any logs. end of discussion.
