    I just got a good local job. I'll be hauling appliances for a warehouse, I will probably stay within a 100 to 150 mile radius but will go across state lines. Will I need a logbook and is there any exceptions for this.

    No log book within the 100 air mile, or returning to home base at the end of shift.

    So if I drive over 100 air miles I will need a log book? And also I'll be hauling for an individual picking stuff up and bring back to his warehouse. Will that make any difference since he is not for hire and hauling his own stuff

    If you cross state lines you need a log book. They track ifta for that state

    Are you working on a time card?

    I always kept one for my own records. Whats so hard about drawing a line taking 30 seconds of your time
