Exempt from logbook and 30 min break only
All other fmcsa rules still apply.

 

No, not if you run exclusively in a 100 air mile radius. No log book means 1 less thing dot can harass you about

 

Yes.....

 

No, wrong, when you are on log books, you need logs for the previous 7 days

 

You are confusing me. Are you saying run 300 miles from your store, or run 300 total miles in the day? If you stay within a 100 air mile radius of your store you can drive as many miles in a day as you want with no log book. If you go over 100 air miles away, you need a log book for the previous 7 days

 

Intrastate turns into interstate once you cross the line and your 16 turns into 14. But if you dont keep a log and get pulled over let us know what happens

 

basically it up to you driver i dont run logs and when the cops pull me over they dont ask for them either if they do i say im local i never ran them while crossing state lines either just dont care to never have i had a problem but then again im not saying you wont just gotta do what you think is best or go to a wheigh station or stop a state police officer and ask them for their opinion

 

I run local, I keep track of my hours on a sheet that has 31 days of calendar. If I do a run over 100 air miles, I run a separate log sheet and keep them all together. THERE I HAVE MY 7 DAYS and some. I'm I still in the wrong ? Been doing this long enough....... Per DOT, they give me the thumbs at each inspection. "Your turn".... ….
