First, you need a log book when you exceed 100 Air Miles from start/return point(so I am told by safety). You can drive in circles all day and do 400 miles as long as you do not leave the 100 Air Mile radius.

As for the hours:
A) YOU CANNOT EXCEED 12 HOURS IN A EXEMPT BOOK. AFTER 12 HOURS YOU NEED TO FILL OUT A LOG FOR THAT DAY.
B) 15.5. As long as you did not drive past 11 hours, returned to the point of which you started(which I assume you did), have not used the 16 hour exemption in last 7 days or since last restart, you are o.k. Just need to fill out a long for that day.

I drive local also and use a exempt book. I DO NOT work past 12 hours(my runs are short ) and do not exceed 100 Air Miles from the warehouse.

Hope that helps

The FMCSA rules only apply if you travel interstate - if you travel intrastate, then the state rules apply regarding HOS.

My mistake. I meant when you start to when you finish point of return.
Sorry

Good point. I was assuming that he crosses some state lines at times.
