Did you know that federal law may exempt you from drug testing, CDL requirements, hours of service, and more—just for hauling your own farm products?


Under the MAP-21 Act, operators of qualifying “Covered Farm Vehicles” (CFVs) may be exempt from many of the usual FMCSA regulations. These exemptions can save you time, money, and hassle—but only if you meet the right conditions.


A few things that matter:

  • How far you’re traveling from the farm?

  • What you’re hauling?

  • Who’s driving the vehicle?

  • Vehicle weight and registration status?


But here’s the catch—rules can vary from state to state, and not everyone qualifies automatically. Want to know if you qualify?


Let’s talk. I’ll help you understand what’s allowed, what’s not, and how to stay compliant while taking full advantage of your exemptions.
