Must a driver from Mexico have a record of duty status available for inspection when operating in the United States?
A driver from Mexico is subject to the same record of duty status requirements as any other driver operating in the United States. If they are operating within a 100-air mile radius of their home terminal, they may take advantage of the 100-air mile radius exemption in 49 CFR 395.1(e). However, if they are operating beyond a 100-air mile radius or do not meet the requirements of the previously mentioned exemption, then they must have a record of duty status current on the day of inspection.
