    Ive done some research and it seems like i can but i thought i would double check with some truckers that would know. Hay season is coming up and would be nice to help my uncle haul hay to make some money on the side while im doing my CDL class.

    On private property? Yessir, you’re good to go.

    The minute you touch a public road...you need a CDL...

    Except...check your state laws...you may be exempt if the truck is plated as an agricultural or farm vehicle...

    Best bet, call DMV...

    Depends on the state, the ones I know of dont require a cdl for a farm truck.

    It can depend upon whether or not the driver is an employee, or the farmer themselves. Hence, calling DMV is a very wise move...

    I finish around August first, I planned on hauling grain for my grandpa to get some experience under my belt then im not to sure after that but im sure it will come to me. That also gives me a month before harvest season so im going to have to figure that out.

    Not sure where you are, but in Wisconsin, the land of cow poop, farms are exempt from most CDL rules. The trucks don't even need registration, as what I consider a loophole, they are considered motorized hay wagons. Same with the poop trucks, most are semis and are still considered motorized manure spreaders.
