Log Book Question
If you are hauling raw vegetables out of the field and you are working for somebody do you have to run a log book? I only ask this question because a friend of mine did this for a summer and he never had to run a log book.

CDL vehicle 100 air mile radius. Some states, like IL do allow 150 miles, but you can not cross state lines. If you do you are limited to the 100 mile federal rule or must use a log book. Non CDL vehicle 150 air mile radius. As far as the hours allowed to drive, this again depends on if the vehicle is CDL or non CDL. Read section E for the complete regs.

Also even if you did nothing but short runs out of your home terminal all day it is often just easier to keep the OTR drivers on a log book instead of temporarily switching them to a time sheet/card.
