    Sorry...In that example, I should have broke it down better.

    06:00-0615 PTI
    06:15-0915 drive to location.
    09:15-1015 load truck with production water.
    10:15-1115 drive to water dump location
    11:15-1145 dump water off truck
    11:45-1245 drive back to location.
    12:45-1745 on site(off duty) twiddling thumbs.
    17:45-1815 half load production water
    18:15-2000(end of 14 hour) on site(off duty) twiddle thumbs
    20:00-2030 load other half of production...

    2.75 hours on duty time
    5.00 hours driving
    14.5 hours since I started my PTI, but I need to drive 1 hour to dump location. I have sat there on site for 6.75 hours, waiting on production water to come off into tanks. Does that 6.75 hours extend my 14 out, so i can get to the dump location?

    I don't let my guys use the off duty exemption so I don't kno much about it. But if you are running oilfield equipment you can use the 24 hr exemption anywhere at home, in the motel, onsite wherever you are it doesn't matter.

    I have not hauled water but from I have seen and heard. They run a 12hr shift and is local (100mi radius)(Texas 150mi radius). You probably won't even run a logbook except with your start and stop times. I've never seen water haulers sit on location waiting to unload. Usually the water is unloaded into a man made pond some where around the location before the fracking starts. They usually use this pond for several fracking jobs around the locations.

    Yeah, I was not clear about that. I try to use it while onsite, just to satisfy the DOT. I have done it at a truckstops that were close to locations.

    Yeah water trucks normally don't run books. and yes we do use the exemption if the truck stop is close as that is usually where they stage us for sand haulers anyway.

    I have a question.. I work in the marcellus shale field and we work long hours and our company requires us to keep a log book,with that said our supervisor tells us while we are working on the site for our 12 hours we can log the 5th line on our log book so we can drive if needed and also log the drive time in a van from hotel to site and visa versa. Is there any rules and regulations in the federal motor carrier book restricting us "frackers " from using that line? If someone could answer my question with some documented proof it would be most appreciated.

    Nothing restricting you from using line 5. Now if your flat out tired and feel you can't drive safely. That is your call as the driver but I would suspect you won't have a job much longer.

    Water truck drivers cannot use oilfield exemption. You must be a specifically trained operator, such as working on a rig or frac.

    The person I quoted, does not mention anything about being a water truck driver.

    Right, but some guys were talking about it. Didn't mean to single out your quote, I'm a bit tired after 14.25 today and 70 in the last 5 days...lol. One night off, and back to the grind driving water in circles.

    My OP doesn't matter anymore. I don't work there, and DOT suggested he not require his drivers to run logs. I'm guessing they saw what appeared to be logs not done right. This was right after I left there.
