150-air-mile exception: Additional compliance points

['Hours of Service']
150-air-mile exception: Additional compliance points
  • A driver who fails to comply with the requirements of the 150-air-mile (short-haul) exception on any given day must complete a standard log for that day and, if applicable, take 30-minute breaks as necessary and keep supporting documents.
  • Driver-salespersons who use the exception are limited to a radius of 100 miles from the work-reporting location.
  • A driver can cross state lines and/or transport hazardous materials and still use this exception if all the criteria are met.

Drivers using the 150-air-mile exception (also known as the “short-haul” exception) are not exempt from all hours-of-service rules nor other safety regulations. Such drivers must continue to comply with the 60/70-hour rule as well as all other safety rules besides hours of service. The exception is only an exception from:

A driver who fails to comply with the requirements of the 150-air-mile exception on any given day must complete a standard log for that day and, if applicable, take 30-minute breaks as necessary and keep supporting documents. The log must be started as soon as the driver becomes aware that the requirements of the 150-air-mile exception will not be met and must cover the entire day.

If the driver doesn’t realize that the short-haul exception no longer applies until after eight driving hours have already gone by and did not take a 30-minute break, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration says the driver will not be considered to be in violation, but the driver should enter a note on the log to indicate why the required break was not taken earlier and “should take the break at the earliest safe opportunity.”

Driver-salespersons (as defined in 395.2) who use this exception are limited to a radius of 100 miles from the work-reporting location if they also wish to take advantage of other special exceptions that exist for driver-salespersons.

A driver can cross state lines and/or transport hazardous materials and still use this exception, if the above criteria are met.
