onevoice: Thank you for the clarification. I had no reason to believe or suspect that he was operating illegally. His statement of logging mileage was there, along with hotel stay vs sleeping in his truck. I am aware of wheel time and their limits (but I don't know what the max drive time allowed is). I would like to think he kept accurate logs. I spoke with him for about 15 minutes and paraphrased our conversation. I didn't ask about medical cards or anything else.
The only thing that I recall was he implied there was additional logs to keep after exceeding 26xxx lbs. Something to do with having to purchase fuel in each state you enter. I don't do DOT checks and never will.
Regardless, you definitely provide good info as to the complexities involved and some possible pitfalls to be aware of.
