[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1179949, member: 42554"] Already have, but I go higher than just an Officer. you misunderstood his comments, he was correct in saying no logbook required for the 100 mile air radius but he's not saying that exempts you from the regulations, just from the recordkeeping requirement. He's telling you that enforcement won't be focused on Pkg drivers, and it won't.... until a serious accident causes it to be. To enforce they will have to obtain the records from the Company rather than at the roadside as they can with us. None of this changes that it's the law and we are required to follow it. I suggest you call him back and ask if you are also exempt from all the other HOS regulations such as driving past your 14th hour or using the 16 hour exemption more than once a week and see what he says. Tell him you're a real go-getter and you want to drive 18 hours a day every day. But step back a moment and ask yourself if it makes sense that this Company which has seemed to build their business model around "encouraging" drivers to work during their unpaid meal periods has suddenly been overcome with a conscience and wants all the runner gunners to take a break. That or were supposed to believe that a multi billion dollar corporation has the most incompetent legal team on the Planet. If ignoring this rule becomes pervasive expect a whistleblower action to set things straight. [/QUOTE]
