I'm driving for an owner op and his truck doesn't have an e log installed. Since we're only driving within 100 miles he says we only need a time sheet. The problem is we go between states. NY and PA just for reference. Is this legal or do we need a log for interstate?
No logbook needed?

As long as you're not going 100 air miles or 115 road miles from your terminal that is correct. See link: Regulations Section
brian991219, x1Heavy and Ghriszly Thank this. -
You have three criteria to meet.
1. 100 air mile eadius.
2. 12 hours max a day.
3. Start and stop at same location.
There is no requirement to stay intrastate. If you meet all three you can use a timecard instead of a graph log. This has not changed.
You only need an eld if you do full graph log more than 8 days in 30.misterG, Dan.S, Mattflat362 and 2 others Thank this. -

"air miles" is nautical miles, which are longer than statute miles by the 15% mentioned.

yep it's legal as long as you don't go over 12 hours and your suppose to punch a time clock in and out at terminal each day but I haven't seen it enforced

And you see how easy that is? I Still use "Trip sheets" to keep track of my IFTA,and Start/stop , So,No More Logs for me Either, Used to be 100 air miles,BUT If you crossed lines,You had to run a log,When did they change that?
I Hope you guys make MILLIONS running your ELD after dec 17th....(or whenever it is)
Hope you Drivers have bulging wallets full of cash!! -

My very first local gig was a big construction company. 600 employees. They had double bellies that went in to Wyoming to bring in sand for their concrete plant in utah. Timecards was all they ever used. But that was 17 years ago.
ZVar Thanks this.
