It used to be 100 miles....but I thought they had bumped it up to 150 a couple years ago. Best thing to do is check with your stste DOT office...or your company saftey director.

100 AIR-MILES from your yard. Translates to ~112 road miles.

So I was off by three miles.
Question C-6 "What is an air-mile?"


Quote:

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.

100 air miles.. HOWEVER, if you run a split shift (like me) you must run a log.

Look at post five. If you go over 115 miles from the yard, log it.

That's not exactly right. Your delivery point might be at the end of some winding state highways that would have you actually travelling say... 127 miles to get there but, once there, you are still within the 115 statute mile "radius" of your terminal. I used the term statute instead of air-mile to set up the next q and a:

Do you remember when we were kids and.... no, really. That compass thingie you used in Geometry class to draw circles and measure angles and "radii." Get one and take out your atlas. Locate the mileage legend for the scale map you are using (City blow-ups have their own scale.) Spread it out to show 115 miles (not 100) and then put the pin point at your terminal location, set the pencil point down on the atlas, and draw a circle. That's your territory. You can drive all the miles you can drive within your 12 hours (is it?) as long as you stay inside that circle. If a road to one of those customers takes you outside the circle? You have to log it. [per the FMCSR's]


There's a bit more to this discussion, but I gotta go before Clee finds me and FINES me for egging on my good friend (and respected driver) Double R.... or conspiring to commit "general nonsense." (wink)

I only hope that I have done my part to help my fellow truckers who are in need. [Matthew 25]
