It always was 100 miles. However, the confusion comes in when you look at what kind of miles are being discussed. The 100 mile radius is 100 AIR MILES. Air miles are "as the crow flies" and so are significantly different from "road" miles. Also, since we are talking about AIR miles, they are NAUTICAL miles, which are LONGER than statute miles. A land mile is 5,280 feet. A nautical miles is 6076 feet. Once you have done all of the necessary arithmetic, you will find that 150 is a relatively fair estimate for distance limitations.
Another commonly held wrong belief is that a log book is necessary when you cross a state line. Go back and re-read the rules, and there is nothing about state lines in the rules.
Most truckers take hearsay as fact without ever opening the book. You know that little book published by J. J. Keller that has all of the rules in it? The carrier is REQUIRED BY LAW to give one to EACH DRIVER in their employ EVERY YEAR!!!. Guess how many have ever been cracked open???
Remember this: when the DOT cop asks you who told you that this was the law, how foolish will you feel telling him that Joe Trucker (or whoever) that works with you told you. Also, don't consider a DOT cop to be an expert in the laws. When they go into the scale house to write you up, they generally have their nose stuck in one of those previously mentioned books.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
