There are two rules; one for "...commercial motor vehicles used exclusively in the transportation of oilfield equipment, including the stringing and picking up of pipe used in pipelines, and servicing of the field operations of the natural gas and oil industry...", the other for "...specially trained drivers of commercial motor vehicles that are specially constructed to service oil wells..."
Water haulers could qualify for the first (assuming they are working field operations of the natural gas and oil industry exclusively), allowing them the use of the 24 hour reset. In my opinion, it is questionable whether they could use the second, which allows for on-site waiting time to be logged as off-duty time... that one would apply to cement, acid, frac, N2, wireline, laydown, power tongs, etc.
Note that §395.1(e)(1) is the "100 air-mile radius" rule; users of the second rule cannot use it.
Oil Field Logs...how does the exemption work?

Here's my question though that brought me to this page in the first place. The rules that go into effect on July 1st stipulate that you must have 2 periods of 1AM to 5AM in your 34 hours of reset. I work graveyards and take 36 hour resets once per week. So that won't work for us, or we would have to take 2 days off instead of 1. Will the oilfield exemption of 24 hour resets still apply after July 1st? We have a bunch of graveyard workers, so we need to get this figured out. -

They try to change/amend the rule every year or so. It always seems to be put off....Remember Oil doesn't mix with water , but it sure does with politics

I don't know if anyone can help. I have been out of DOT regulations for a while but just started again in Oilfield. My drivers punch in daily do they need to log?
