Map-21 useage and radius miles?

Green book... Section 395.1 (k) is the regulation you are looking for.

 

Harvest season is the only time it can be used... But "harvest season" is determined by state legislation... Many western states have legislation that states harvest season all year round.

 

Agricultural products only... But the exemtion only counts within 150 air miles of a shipper or reciever that is an agricultural facility...

Example: a load of potatoes loading at a farm feshpack facility delivering to a grocery store across the country. Can use the exemption within 150 air miles of the shipper, but not at the receiver.

That’s the list of commodities that are or aren’t exempt. It’s 150 air miles from the origin of the load. Livestock is the only thing that gets the 150 mile radius on the unloading end too.

What were you loading and what state were you in?

About MAP-21
On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed into law a new two year transportation reauthorization bill, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act ("MAP-21"; P.L. 112-141). This new law includes many important provisions intended to help the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in its important mission to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. Many of the provisions in MAP-21 track the Agency's strategic framework to improve commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety by supporting its three core principles:

1. Raise the bar to enter the industry and operate on our roads;
2. Hold motor carrier and drivers to the highest safety standards to continue operations; and
3. Remove the highest risk drivers, vehicles, and carriers from our roads and prevent them from operating.
