What is the short-haul exception concept that lets some local drivers skip a logbook?
- A.Any driver may skip logs for one day a week
- B.Drivers who stay within a limited radius (commonly 150 air-miles), return to the same work location, and stay within duty limits may be exempt from keeping a full log
- C.Drivers under 21 never need logs
- D.Night drivers are exempt from all limits
Correct answer
B. Drivers who stay within a limited radius (commonly 150 air-miles), return to the same work location, and stay within duty limits may be exempt from keeping a full log
Why
The short-haul exception is built for local operations that start and end at the same place within a set radius and hour limit, and the carrier must keep time records instead. Exceed the radius or hours, and full logging and the normal limits apply for that day.
