I just recently got my authority with apportioned plates, IFTA etc & I purchased a subscription for E Log service as well. After setting up all of that I was offered a local run that would keep me within 150 mile radius of my home 4 days a week & 1 day a week I would have to cross the state line & back on a 450 mile turn. I don’t want to run an E log to run local for the 4 days. Can I just use the E Log for the one 450 mile turn each week & use a local time sheet for the other 4 days?

Federal Regulations allow you to run paper logs 8 days in a 30 day rolling period from the first day you run a paper log outside of your hundred and fifty mile air radius.... so for example if you run out of your 150 mile air radius on April 29th, you can have 8 paper log days 30 days from that date... so if you're going to only run outside of that air mile radius once a week you would be fine running paper log just on those particular days.... But be sure to document what you did the previous 7 days though..
