Your statement isn't really correct. It would only be true if the driver drove in a straight line. A driver could drive hundreds of miles and still stay with in the 100 air miles radius. That is why the the statute defines it as "100 air-mile radius". I've been in several areas where you can drive 200 miles and not be outside 100 mile radius.

Hmmm.... I think you MUST be correct! Thanks for keeping me from giving bad advice! I "reworded" the reg to say "road miles" when it actually stated "STATUTE miles."

C-2. What is an "air-mile"?
The term "air-mile" is internationally defined as a "nautical mile" which is equivalent to 6,076 feet. Thus, the 100 air-miles are equivalent to 115.08 statute miles, and 150 air-miles are equivalent to 172.6 statute miles.

Obviously, a person working shorthaul could drive more than 115 miles/day! What was I thinking?? That's only about 1 hr 15 mins! :lol:
I should learn to stay away from shorthaul discussions, as I have only glanced at the regs that don't apply to me!
So, if you drive shorthaul, you can stay within a radius of 115.08 STATUTE miles! And drive all the miles you want to within 12 hours.
I just thought someone might need that other 15 miles someday! :wink:
I guess if you want to know whether a town is outside the limits, you have to go back and rent an airplane and fly there first! :lol: Jeez.... what kind of regulatory agency would intentionally confuse truckers by using AIR miles anyway??? :shock: :lol:
Never mind!!! :wink:
See??? I'm just as "average" as the next guy! I could've gotten someone KILT!!! :lol:
