Info

Driver While driving, your drivers must always carry with them a logbook showing their current and previous seven daysʼ duty status. The log and other records of duty (e.g., time cards), must be maintained for six months at your place of business. Some exemptions follow. Agricultural Operations Exemption Your drivers are exempt from the basic hours-of-service rules if any of the following criteria are met: • They are transporting agricultural commodities or farm supplies for farming purposes. • The transport is limited to a 100-mile radius from the source of the commodities or the distribution point for the farm supplies. • The transport is conducted during the planting and harvesting seasons. Driver-Salesperson Exemption Drivers (of a private carrier) who sell goods and services, who use said goods, and who also deliver the goods by commercial motor vehicle are exempt from the basic hours-of-service rules providing they do not drive more than 40 hours in seven consecutive days. Reporting Accidents to DOT Carriers are required to keep records at the primary place of business for three years following an accident involving a commercial motor vehicle. The record must include • the date of the accident; • the city, town, and state where the accident occurred; • the driverʼs name; - 44 -
• the number of injuries, if applicable; • the number of fatalities, if applicable; • a statement as to whether hazardous materials (other than fuel spilled from the tanks of motor vehicles involved in the accident) were released; and • copies of all accident reports required by the state or the insurers. Driving Over Scales Indiana requires all trucks to enter permanent State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division scales located along major highways. Motor carrier inspectors focus on the bigger trucks and vehicles used in commercial transport. Vehicles are required to be weighed if they • have a “tag weight” (declared gross weight) over 11,000 pounds; • have a GVWR or CGVWR over 10,000 pounds; or • meet the defi nition of a commercial motor vehicle. Vehicles pass over scales that measure the total weight and the amount of weight carried over each axle. In Indiana, a commercial vehicle (including the truck, trailer, and cargo) may weigh no more than 80,000 pounds without a special permit. The weight must be distributed evenly across the axles and must not exceed the weight ratings from the axle manufacturer or applicable state regulations. - 45 - Driver
