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 - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
