Covid hos warning

Something we should all know is that each officer interprets things differently I got a warning in Georgia for hauling coffee beans using the exemption on personal conveyance with a notation. This cop obviously decided coffee was not very important. My interpretation is that coffee is food. In fact on the inspection report the commodity he listed said food.

 

A shipper has no authority to decide what is a law and what is not also this list mentions nothing about the covid hours of service emergency declaration.

 

I actually got a hold of somebody at the FMCSA. They agreed that coffee is most definitely food. He also said that different officers maybe more unreasonable than others and I got a bad one bad one. He agreed with my point that food is food. He also said the shipper does not decide if it's a covid load or not however they can put that on the paperwork to make it more clear but the bottom line is a cop will do what he wants at the time.
