Logging personal use miles

Scenario: You’re driving a vehicle that is IFTA qualified and IRP apportioned. You take a break during your trip to drive to a nearby town about 20 miles away to run an errand. The miles you accrued while running the errand were for personal use and therefore do not need to be logged under hours-of-service regulations.

Question: Do you need to record the miles expended during personal use?

  1. Yes, you must record miles expended during personal use.
  2. No, you don’t need to record personal use miles.

Logging personal use miles: Answer

Answer: Yes, you must record miles expended during personal use. All miles of IFTA qualified vehicles and IRP apportioned vehicles must be recorded, even if the driver is not required to record them under hours-of-service or other programs. This includes empty miles, miles accrued while the vehicle is operated for personal use, and miles accrued while the vehicle is sent for repairs.
