I guess we still have a misunderstanding.

I'm a driver of a D unit. I Put myself in service on Monday morning and sometimes get a load and sometimes don't get a load.

On Monday afternoon I call dispatch and ask if I should move and they say yes. So I move to a Pole Barn that I own down state. The reason I stay there is there is an office in the pole barn that my renter uses that has a toilet. I still sleep in my sleeper.

I stay there till I get a load. This might happen in hours or days.

The load picks up in Grand Rapids and goes to the Detroit area.

I get another load and it goes from Detroit to the Toledo area and another back to the Detroit area.

I don't go home for 2 weeks at a time. I'm sometimes out of this area but sometimes not.

I understand a log book and the lines and how to fill it out but my confussion is in your discribing the 250 mile rule.

Am I allowed to deduct my meals (up to the $52 per day) within the 250 miles or not?

Or do I have to keep track of the radius I except loads so I stay out of the 250 mile radius of my home?

Thanks for the help.
