My dad's a truck driver and I never knew anything about it so, your videos inform me a lot on your duties as a truck driver. Thank you for your videos. Also I'm in central California and my dad now lives in Oregon running his own trucking business. Much love and luck to you.
we probably pass each other often, i drive for a company in Fresno. always up and the the 99, I-5, 134, 210, 15… hours and hours behind the wheel, i love it.
You are right about the paper logs but the origin of the load and destination dictates if you are intrastate or interstate. At least here in California. So if you guys out there doing relay loads make sure you check the shipping papers
Intra vs inter has to do with your medical clearance on your CDL. "Local" or no log driving is within 150 air miles and requires some short haul exemption paperwork.
Out in the east coast we called it by two only, I can understand California, because it's so big. Born and raised in Fresno my man, haven't been back in years.
I’m not a truck driver but I work at a Sarcan in Canada, and loading is a two man job. I appreciate guys like you that’d do the loading yourself. Man you must be jack! Lol you do great work and I love your content
I used to be a trucker drive truck for 15 years truckers r also real life heroes delivering goods from one end to another respect the truckers ppl god bless america
At some point in the past few years, the local range was extended to 150 air miles. Within that circles, as long as you begin and end your day at the same terminal, you are not required to follow any of the hours of service laws. However, the instant you or anyone in your company leaves that circle, you must have electronic logs for the proceeding 7 days in the US or 14 days in Canada
Aww man, was wishing that if you could pickup orders in our Shipping facility in Wisconsin. I load trailers for truck driver for pickup as full time position and check in/check out truckers as backup position. A lot of respect to you truckers out there keeping America going.
You ain't lyin, where I'm from you just go wherever the hell ya wanna go. I'm not sure how the state can tell you, "you only stay in the state, you over there can go out of the state." California is a dump.
I5 grapevine to Santa Nella spots are easy to find most times of day/night. The Petro and TA just north of thr Grapevine rhere is almost always parking, I've never seen there not be parking. In Southern California I believe it's in Mira Loma in front of the Nestlé building there is street parking I think it's actually legal. I have parked on the street in Los Angeles in the industrial area you could hear homeless people pushing shopping carts but meh. TA and Petro on the weekends in Ontario you can find parking later at night than ok weekdays. I15 south heading towards Ontario/Fontana area there is usually parking at tye TA in Barstow, the spots I find are kind of tight at night but they're usually there. You just have to try and plan your trip to accommodate the parking availability.
No, 150 mile air radius (meaning get a paper map, draw a circle around your terminal equal to 150 miles each way) as long as you stay in that circle, you can do a time card and delivery log. If you leave the circle for less than 7 days in a 30 day rolling cycle, you can run paper logs for those 7 days. Leave the circle for more than 7 days, gotta be on elog unless your truck is exempt because of age. Federal law, same for every state.
Well I’m glad you like California, I cannot stand the state, even for vacations. I will eventually pick one of the 3 when I eventually get my CDL. Enjoying the content!
Also three types: 1. Local 2. OTR (Over the Road) 3. Route Inter and Intra are more like branches. Intra is limiter on Class A drivers under 21 years old.
Ok that's awesome I appreciate your educating all these people that don't understand that hope these little continents that you probably already know help your channel God bless you and be safe because there's a lot of nuts over there
I live in Visalia, so that’s pretty cool that you’re from the central valley bud, keep posting we need to bring more attention to the central valley on RUclips
I think that would be considered regional. It is in between long haul and local. Since you only run in one specific region, but not necessarily local, that would make you a regional driver.
My uncle is an Interstate driver. Great dude. Hes been driving for a longgggg time. But he does claim to adore the switch from paper logs to electronic logs. He says it is much easier to use, and a great step in the innovation of the industry. However, he does drive a 5 axle MONSTER of a rig, with a full apartment for a sleeper cab.
That's awesome,,I thought that you can only use paper logs if you have a pre obd 2 engine without a diagnostic port but in state makes sense fl TX and CA should be able to do that I guess guess
I consider anything other than local “over the road”. Intrastate when it comes to getting your authority is consider within a state, interstate outside of the state same as a over the road. Going base on time zones regional is driving within a time zone, Florida to New York for example. Long haul anything outside of regional.
My dad drives a truck for DHL, I don’t know which one that classifies in because he travels between 3 different states every night but it’s always home every day.
I’m not a truck driver but my Grandfather was for many years. He always called the ones who went to and from and didn’t leave the state, locals. Drivers who drove over state lines and also in their trucks over night, over the roaders.
There's another distinction with interstate drivers between regional and long haul drivers. Regional guys are usually home every weekend and usually run within a section of the us while long haul guys run multiple weeks at a time and run across the us.
My dad does local runs and still has paper logs, his runs average between 100-210 miles per run and he does permit loads (Laws for truck drivers around here are pretty relaxed and it is to the point where they don’t even enforce emissions laws really)
Do a video on cool things we need as a truck driver? I just bought my own and i need a set up like yours!! Also if you can’t what are the best practices for the pre trip on the truck?? Thanks mate!!
Local just means you’re home every night. We have the same restrictions on time we can be on the road. We don’t have a milage restriction. We also don’t have to keep a written log, only have to keep a digital log.
I've always thought it was Local, Over the Road, and Regional. For the last 20 years I do a daily trip from Michigan through Ohio to central Indiana and back every day. 450 miles total, loaded trailer down, drop, empty trailer back. Much better than the Chicago to New Jersey that I did for the 17 years before that.
When I was local I got paid mileage and stop pay. Ran trips a little over 200 miles one way once or twice, so long as you could get there and back within 10 hours it was a load they could dispatch you on.
Intrastate is actually a license restriction. You can do local, regional or over the road/ long distance. No mileage restriction on anything unless you're a tow truck driver
I’m local and sometimes go from MA to ME, MA to CT, and so on. Most of the time I stay in MA though but no, we can drive more than 100 miles and sometimes we don’t go home until the next day. It’s hourly as well and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else
A quick lesson for everyone Local radius is 50 miles Intermediate is between 50 and 200 miles Long distance is anything over 200 miles. The prices for each of these varies. Think carefully when establishing your business.
I run local mostly, we get a 150 air mile from our base of operation, no log books just running, my commodity transport is pretty much all cement powder hauling it to well pad sites under construction in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania of course, pay runs on a percentage scale ranging from 26 to 30% on year four, I'm at 29% and living pretty comfortable home every evening and weekend
So, just a correction on the local part. That term is defined by the company most would say local is coming home daily or every other day. We also drive way more than 150 miles a day. You are able to drive as long as you have hours I cross between two state’s Washington and Oregon
My best friend's dad was what he dubbed "out of state/local". Not sure if it still happens nowadays (in modern trucking companies) but basically his home base was in southern California but he would drive as far up as Washington state and as far east as Oklahoma. So like, the whole western most half of the country.

im currently in oregon… what’s yours dad business? been wanting to get into trucking.
@@Username27288 his trucking company name is Bulldog Trucking and his name is Karl Catterson/ Wilkerson
Is he hiring?
I'm really not sure. Did you find his business?
Same, i live in florida and my dad drives all across the country and is gone 5-6 days of the week.
My father told me, and said,”if you have to load up the trailer, NEVER do it for free.”
My uncle had told me the same thing!
I was told the same thing by a burning bush in the middle of death valley 😨
You have one? I’m surprised
@@VxQC why do you say that lil bro?
Yes it is a job. You don’t do any job for free. Kinda just common sense bro
Nice of your uncle to create family wealth.
Shout out to your uncle 4 looking out💯
Uncle set his nephew up for the future and then some, real one in the family
Sometimes shit don’t work out man. Were crazy when we young
We need more people like this on yt, just people sharing what they do and what they love
they’re already all over yt tho
I see you’ve been doing some ad work. Good for you brother. I’m happy your making good money. Cheers to your success!
I was about to make a similar comment, I saw the ad as well. Good shit Alex, getting bigger and it’s only up from here man congrats 🥳
It's nice to see someone with a positive comment! GOOD JOB!!!

I’m from the Central Valley too that’s wild that we are from the same place
Central valley is a shithole
Calis got a huge population it's not that wild 😂
I think intrastate and interstate are just restrictions on license.
I think local is just a description meaning you're likely home each night
There's no license restrictions on where you can drive.
Intra vs inter has to do with your medical clearance on your CDL. "Local" or no log driving is within 150 air miles and requires some short haul exemption paperwork.
@@aureliusva they changed it to 198 air miles about 6 months ago
Also intra means the load has to originate in your state and terminate in your state without crossing state lines. No med cert required for intra.
Correct except that a medical certificate is required to get your license no matter where you run.
Out in the east coast we called it by two only, I can understand California, because it's so big. Born and raised in Fresno my man, haven't been back in years.

Same man
I'm fun Sacramento
Im new to Modesto and just got my permit, need help atm trying to find somewhere haha
150 air mile radius from home base you don't need any log except a driver inspection and a timecard.
I’ve seen you various times in the white Peterbilt 579 driving up and down the 99 by Fresno 💪🏼
Getting my class A see you out there! Always watch what you do.
In California until they say so means right after this video is posted
You ain't lyin, where I'm from you just go wherever the hell ya wanna go. I'm not sure how the state can tell you, "you only stay in the state, you over there can go out of the state."

Oh so you know all the good parking stops in Cali. Gotta put a brother on lol

Wrong ur local.
Love them boots at the end of the video!!🤠
I like your videos, makes me miss the job.
I use do the same thing in the same places I watch your videos and it takes me back to a time
When the cops pull you over: yeah sure take a look, my paper logs are right here 😉
I do local. You can easily drive 500 miles in one shift and be home everyday.
Here in Arkansas paper logs are based on if you stay within a 150 mile radius. I guess Texas is like that too because I used to go that far as well.
No, 150 mile air radius (meaning get a paper map, draw a circle around your terminal equal to 150 miles each way) as long as you stay in that circle, you can do a time card and delivery log.

Cen Cal ay? Well sending love from Visalia!
My gf was born in Visalia
Never seen a load lock deployed vertically
Well I’m glad you like California, I cannot stand the state, even for vacations. I will eventually pick one of the 3 when I eventually get my CDL. Enjoying the content!
Who asked?
For me it’s texas, if ass backwards was a state. It’s def texas.
You don't pick one of the three. Depending on your medical clearances you can either do intra or inter.
First who asked and second I can tell you’ve never been to California
Alex, love your videos brother!
Thank you for all your insights, pretty interesting for me as a semi lover.
Love the Central Valley and all the diversity it has to offer! ❤️
because family comes first and it does when you’re on the road you miss your family all the time 😊
You pronounced everything correctly.❤❤❤❤
my uncle was trucking on international scale in the EU he was hauling logs in Sweden, Finland, Russia and Poland mainly
Local is 150 miles. And hourly isn’t bad. I get $30 hourly in Indiana. Home every night and only work 55 hour weeks.
Also three types:
1. Local
2. OTR (Over the Road)
3. Route
Inter and Intra are more like branches. Intra is limiter on Class A drivers under 21 years old.
Ok that's awesome I appreciate your educating all these people that don't understand that hope these little continents that you probably already know help your channel God bless you and be safe because there's a lot of nuts over there
My job is classified as a "local" but our farthest stop is 340 miles out.
So nice seeing people actually use load poles and nets. My place they never use them and the doors get damaged.
I loved the Elog kept the company honest.
I like the way you operate! Fortune to you!
"are you a loco truck driver?"
"simon esé!"
I drove local but went from fontana to Las Vegas, Visalia or Yuma Arizona. So I drove further than 100 each and everyday.
There is a local truck driver on RUclips that said he drives 600and something everyday
My step dad was interstate. Always loved the views of each state.
BOSS LIFE 👍👍 IM WITH YOU BRO
God bless you and your family
Bet you top of the line boss! Keep up the good work!!
I was raised up in Tulare, and Visalia.
I live in Visalia, so that’s pretty cool that you’re from the central valley bud, keep posting we need to bring more attention to the central valley on RUclips
Intrastate is great in Cali and Texas. Cant say the same for Florida tho 😢keep it up brother you’re doing great!
Why is it not good in Florida ?
damn im dispatcher, i hate when i have to get my drivers back home in homestead, rates and times are soooooo bad RN
@@jonathands12 it’s all the construction and overpopulation
I'm from tulare and I moved to Oklahoma and got my cdl. I'm regional. Home every 2 or 3 nights.
Thanks for the information

Over the road, Regional, and Local my boy. Or you can have a Dedicated Route.
Intrastate, interstate or within 150 air miles.

@@DRairborneusa ya bro
It’s “local” home every day. “Regional” home on weekends. And OTR “Over the road” meaning all 48 state’s.
My dad drives a truck for DHL, I don’t know which one that classifies in because he travels between 3 different states every night but it’s always home every day.

Sounds like a real nice gig
You have a great uncle ❤️
The load lock is hilarious and locally u can drive as long as u want
gotta have them paper logs:)you know wassup!
"Am Neither" Okay bro question answered On to the next reel 🤣
Those are some good work boots he's got on
In most other states “local” is within the same state. California is it’s own world though.
Yea basically
Bro that load lock is gonna fuck the ducts
The reefer duct in the ceiling of trailer. I saw it too.👀
Amateur hour apparently.
you'd think he'd know better.
Central Valley? Hello from Hanford brotha! Keep up the great videos!
There's another distinction with interstate drivers between regional and long haul drivers. Regional guys are usually home every weekend and usually run within a section of the us while long haul guys run multiple weeks at a time and run across the us.
I drive local for FedEx… I did 375 miles Monday and went out of state.
I hauled gas in the Tampa Bay area years ago. I'd pull 6 loads a day and go 300 miles in a shift with no problems.
I’m a day cab driver and you’re almost right. I drive close to 350 miles a day and I am home every night
My dad does local runs and still has paper logs, his runs average between 100-210 miles per run and he does permit loads (Laws for truck drivers around here are pretty relaxed and it is to the point where they don’t even enforce emissions laws really)

I'm a local interstate driver. I drive 500 miles a day. I get paid by the hour and usually work 5, 12 hour days. Night shift, drop and hook
My dad's been trucking for over 20 years. And as he describes, we run local. States included, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota l.
Intrastate is actually a license restriction. You can do local, regional or over the road/ long distance. No mileage restriction on anything unless you're a tow truck driver
I believe it's called "150 mile short haul exemption " if you're looking for actual fmsca terminology
150 air miles of domicile is local . Intrastate interstate international. For international freight forwarder intestate classifies as local.
I'm a local driver in Texas and we have at least 12 hours days which can be over 100 miles plus be home every night
He runs in Texas. It’s common there because it’s so big with several major hubs. Border(laredo), Houston (port), Dallas Fort Worth. San Antonio
Local state, Texas needs to do that 😅
In Australia the 100 km or 100 mile thing is no log required under that from depot .
Much love from the valle
Man you should stagger (stair stack) the pallets so they load lock themselves. That gap in the middle allows to much shifting.
I’m local and sometimes go from MA to ME, MA to CT, and so on. Most of the time I stay in MA though but no, we can drive more than 100 miles and sometimes we don’t go home until the next day. It’s hourly as well and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else
A quick lesson for everyone
Local radius is 50 miles
Intermediate is between 50 and 200 miles
Long distance is anything over 200 miles.
The prices for each of these varies. Think carefully when establishing your business.
I run local mostly, we get a 150 air mile from our base of operation, no log books just running, my commodity transport is pretty much all cement powder hauling it to well pad sites under construction in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania of course, pay runs on a percentage scale ranging from 26 to 30% on year four, I'm at 29% and living pretty comfortable home every evening and weekend

Most companies refer to it as 11 western nowadays
Short haul is exempt from most of the maximum hours/miles. It does depend on your state, though
