Custom Work laws/regulations hauling for local farmers?

Look he asked for advice I gave a option I'm not telling anyone else they have to do or to do it you are the one blowing it up you have another option so that's fine to but you need to chill a little bit this world is full of options that you might not like but someone else might haven't thought of before and get back on to topic and not a pissing contest so I'm out I have better things to do

 

The simple solution is for all states to do what some elevators and auction barns are doing. Unless you’re unloading cattle or grain in your own name you need commercial plates to unload. That would cut down on all the “favors” that are being done.

 

Actually he asked what was “required”

 

I think farm tags are different from state to state, we tried running them just hauling our own product, but it was up to 500 mile hauls. IT was such a pain that we gave it up and went commercial, we were legal in every way, but you literally had to prove that you were.
This was alfalfa hay, and you can not buy it or any other farm product and resale it somewhere else, it just doesn't work that way, we literally had to cut and bale it ourselves for it to be legal.

 

OK, please help me understand something. There are "federally regulated commodities". To haul those for hire, you need to have an MC number. Example of federally regulated commodities are television sets on pallets. In fact, most commodities are federally regulated unless they are in the exemption list.

There are commodities that are not federally regulated, such as dirt for example. So most dirt semi dump trucks do not have MC number and yet haul other people's dirt all the time.

Unprocessed Grain is also not a federally regulated commodity. Thus, my reading is, it is regulated like "dirt" in terms of for hire hauling and thus MC number is not require to haul grain for hire.

Is that wrong?

Administrative Ruling 119

 

Not required for exempt commodities, just a dot number, but then there are some limitations as far as crossing state lines, etc.
