Part-Time Driver Logs

tlg025n · Oct 30, 2013

If I have someone who works full time 70 hours a week in shop, drives locally. How do they record their on duty time? Do they need to show all breaks and their driving locally or can they just put a line through on-duty as long as the driving is less than 100 miles?

Unless things have changed, you don't have to run a log as long as you travel less than 100 air miles from your home terminal. If you locate your terminal on a map, and draw a circle around the home terminal at a 100 mile radius, then if the driver never exceeds that distance, he doesn't need to log it.

Thanks. I was looking for it in the regs to explain what I meant, but I gave up before I could find it.

If the driver drives out of the 100 air miles every so often tho (once a month), does the driver need to show on his 7 previous logs the local driving he did on the status line of driving time or can he log all local driving and shop time just as on-duty not driving? And also does the driver need to have 7 days logged after his long trip out of the 100 air miles?
