Personal use tractor

I thank you need a DOT number for your farm and an IFTA. It is hard to find good information on that to
me and things are changing.
In the past I got held up in Florida over the IFTA but had a temp. They checked my stuff and let me go.
This year I received a two week notice to get a DOT number for the farm. Needed any time you cross state lines.
That is all your own equipment moving your own stuff.
I would thank you would want to get that from where you are moving to. That way you would never have to do it again.
Two or three years ago I got a deal on panels in Florida. 4500 Kodiac and a goose neck. No decals period. They asked me if that was my stuff or if I was hauling it for someone. My stuff, farm stuff. They waved me on. When you step up to a class 7 or 8 things get more difficult.

 

Call the states you will be traveling through and find out what kind of Ag exemptions they have. It’s likely you may not need anything other than a tag and insurance. Most of the Ag exemptions deal with hauling your own stuff, which would cover your tractors and equipment.

 

I am a hobby farmer/homestead farmer. I don’t make anything off the farm. I raise livestock we consume and I bale hay to feed them. So I don’t see how that would be commercial or interstate commerce. Is just a couple farm tractors and hay equipment.

 

You need DOT number bu no MC accordng to fmcsa. States nothing on website about needing ifta so who knows.
What is a private motor carrier?

 

He’s not a motor carrier. Like I said, check Ag exemptions for the states you’re traveling through. In South Dakota if it’s your truck hauling your own stuff you don’t even need a CDL. No DOT number, no IFTA, no annual inspection. Nothing.

 

Good evening sir,
Could you please copy and paste the link that supercedes what fmcsa says in last sentence of link i posted. Its always nice to read from the source. No offense. I do not know and just doing a unch of googling.

 

Only other thing i could find about ag exemptions is paragraph 2 but on last sentence in bold state that exemptions are only if the vehicle in that state does not require a cdl.

 

it isnt

 

like i said. i can buy a class a truck. do normal dmv tag and reg. and drive around town all day long. dont need dot# ifta or all the company stuff

 

you can for sure if you remove the 5th wheel and derate the gross weight rating. But if you drive your brand new 389 pete with trailer around town moving furniture to yur new house and the popo nab you, you will be in trouble

 

Here’s South Dakota’s exemption. So, for the third time, the OP needs to call the state he lives now, the state he’s moving to, and the states he’s traveling through and ask about their exemptions. Most states have them in one form or another. But the truck, farm tag it, and use any exemption available to Ag use.
