New local driver needing help

Then your not keeping a log for just 1 day. What was stated before was wrong

 

That would be the ideal thing to do. Because you know that youre gonna be driving 300 one day

 

go on your phone and download a logbook app then fill it out everyday it will make it easy for you

 

You have to have a written record of what you did the previous 7 days before you went over 100 miles

 

Correct. My previous answer was to short.

 

I cross state lines several times a week and do not run logs. I stay in the 100 mile radius but must file miles in each state via ifta trip reporting.

 

Just exactly what reference is that one? You need to quote with good references so the new drivers know. I really don't believe that if you work in a city that is split with the states you have to log all that when you're only delivering across the street. So there's a conflict here which means the best way to handle this is go into the scale house and ask them.

 

Same thing for me. I live in the southwestern part of NC near Asheville and we go and pick up in Greenville/Spartanburg SC and beyond several times a week. We even go a little over the 100 air miles to Charlotte, NC some too with no log books.

I have had a couple of DOT inspections on the South Carolina side and no problems with the officer for not having a log book. They ask for it, I say I'm local out of Hendersonville, NC and they say okay, no problem.

You can keep one for your own records if it makes you feel better, but if you're like me and punch a time clock and don't go too far beyond 100 air miles, don't make too much of a big deal about it.

 

No, you would need at least your hours, on and off time, for the previous seven days. You'd be better off just keeping a log book unless you never go past 115 land miles (100 air miles). PS. In case you didn't know it in a straight line. So it could be 300 miles but as long as you're in a 100 air mile radius you're fine.
