Description

In this course, students will learn about the exemptions for drivers transporting agricultural commodities. The Agricultural Operations exception, also referred to as the Ag exception, applies to drivers transporting agricultural commodities within 150 air miles of the source, but only during harvest and planting seasons.

These drivers are exempt from the hours-of-service requirements, which in turn exempts them from ELD requirements, as to Part 395.2.

In this course, we will teach you to understand:

• How this exception affects the carrier’s hours on duty
• What commodities are designated as “agricultural commodities”
• How to determine the air-mile radius that this exception is viable in
