Question Regarding 100 mile air radious DVIR.

If I plan on going over 12 hours I fill out a log just like most OTR drivers do. But if I wasn't planning on going over the 12, I will start a log sheet and log line 4 up to the 12 hour mark. After 12, I log it as it happens. I've been through the scales and had roadside inspections and never had an issue. The main thing I've found is the cop is usually only concerned that youre not over the 100 mile radius. As far as the 16 hour rule, I think you are able to use it once every 7 days, not sure. But if you are using the 16 hour exemption, make sure you note it on your logs and log it as it happens

 

Question 21: When a driver fails to meet the provisions of the 100 air-mile radius exemption (section 395.1(e)), is the driver required to have copies of his/her records of duty status for the previous seven days? Must the driver prepare daily records of duty status for the next seven days?


Guidance: The driver must only have in his/her possession a record of duty status for the day he/she does not qualify for the exemption. A driver must begin to prepare the record of duty status for the day immediately after he/she becomes aware that the terms of the exemption cannot be met The record of duty status must cover the entire day, even if the driver has to record retroactively changes in status that occurred between the time that the driver reported for duty and the time in which he/she no longer qualified for the 100 air-mile radius exemption. This is the only way to ensure that a driver does not claim the right to drive 10 hours after leaving his/her exempt status, in addition to the hours already driven under the 100 air-mile exemption.

 

I run a time sheet also unless I'm planning to go over or I get held up somewhere causing me to go over. If I go over because of something unplanned, I fill out a log sheet . I log everything up to 12 hours on line 4. Once I hit 12 hours, I will then show exactly what I did AFTER the 12 hours. I've been told as long as I'm not over the 100 mile radius at any point in my day, that what I'm doing is legit. Post #5 is the correct way to do it as I understand.

 

Sort of.....I still fill out a time sheet showing all hours on duty. I then staple the log sheet to the time sheet

 

I stick with time sheets and use loose leaf logs when needed

 

I would post a picture of my time sheet and how I do it, but I don't know how.

 

This is the guideance from the DOT:
