    Its a 100 air miles and yes you can cross state lines but you need to have record of your hours meaning punch a time clock at terminal and only allowed 12 hours on duty per day.

    You are correct, as log books are not defined by needing a CDL, but by the weight of the vehicle, or vehicles being driven in an interstate commerce role. And interstate commerce is not defined by where the truck travels, but where the freight travels.

    I'm sure confused. But I ran local in Texas. I was always told if I crossed the state lines, that's interstate and have to do the graph log. If it was intrastate and I didn't go outside the air mile radius I didn't have to log, could just use a time sheet, trip sheet, short haul operation logbook. Texas intrastate is 12/15/8 I have no clue about other states myself. But once outside Texas, regardless of if I drove 4 hours or 9 hours, within a mile of the state line still inside of 100 miles or outside of it, I had to go by the 11/14/10 rules not the 12/15/8.

    We had a discussion about this a while back on a similar question to yours long story short

    crossing state line even if it's 2 miles away from your starting point it has to be logged(time card not acceptable)

    If you are an otr driver. You have to log every mile(ask me how I know this one) lol.

    INTRAstate can use time card up to 100 air miles after that you have to log it.

    When I ran local it was 500 miles round trip I used time card but also log book. Now if you're running under 100 air miles no log book needed

    Edit: oh and if you're intrastate it's 16 hour days as soon as u cross state line you fall into interstate that 14 hour rule.... And if you're only crossing state line one day. You have to stay on the 14 hour rule until after your reset
     
    Stringb8n Thanks this.

    I have searched the FMCSA regulations several times. I can find nowhere in them the requirement to log simply because you cross a state line. Would someone please post a link to this information.

    Intrastate. Interstate. That's the definition.
