| Farm Endorsement |
|
|
 |
| Overview |
|
Persons may obtain a farm endorsement on a regular driver license (non-commercial Class C), provisional (non-commercial Class C) driver license, or any Commercial Driver License (CDL).
This endorsed license authorizes the operation of Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV) when:
- Controlled or operated by a farmer;
- Used to transport agricultural products, farm machinery, or farm supplies to and from a farm;
- Not used in the operation of a common or contract motor carrier; and
- Operated within 150 miles of the farmer’s farm.
A farm endorsement includes authorization to operate commercial motor vehicles equipped with air brakes, tankers, double trailers, and vehicles transporting hazardous materials, when the vehicle is properly placarded.
