Picking up fresh eggs tomorrow... Ag exempt?

I use to haul strawberries from Watsonville to Hunts point.
Never heard of a AG exemption (or needed one if you get my drift)?
Or heard of one hauling that ice pack yardbird from Jasper AL to LA; load Friday afternoon, unload 4am Monday morning.

 

What he means is 150 air mile is in knots, so the actual radius is 172.6.
map miles
IOW 172,6 miles in a strait line using map miles.
When you do your circle use 150 knots which = 172.6 MILES.

 

Exactly, and i never had a load rejected. Maybe the "new breed" need a little extra help to do a normal days work.

 

Favorite post ever!

 

For exempt commodities, everything related to the load within the 150 knots (as the crow flies) of the pickup point (when empty and heading to the pickup) is exempt.

So, if you unload and are ready to go to the pickup, you go on "ag exempt". The drive, fuel, washout, check-in, wait, loading time, check out and the drive towards the 150 mile line are ALL "off duty".

That means you can shut down when you want to shut down, and your "10" will be counted from the time of your last drop. There's no 14 to worry about. You can shut down for rush hour and push on for better parking or to be able to make the delivery (or the next pickup) a day earlier.

It gives flexibility around the 14 hr rule, even more than allows for more driving.

There’s the full list of what is and isn’t. I don’t know the office/law difference, but there are cases referenced at the end of the list. And some things on the list will reference the case that made the commodity exempt or not exempt.

 

Knots is a speed relating to the distance Nautical Miles (NM), not the distance itself. A nautical mile is one minute of latitude so ideal in maps navigation at sea.

 

Nautical mile
Unit of length

Description
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute of latitude at the equator. Today the international nautical mile is defined as 1,852 metres. Wikipedia

In that respect, it's no different than miles or kilometers, just the distance is different.

 

Knots

Measuring the knot in the 17th century.

Knots, on the other hand, are used to measure speed. One knot equals one nautical mile per hour, or roughly 1.15 statute mph.

The term knot dates from the 17th century, when sailors measured the speed of their ship using a device called a “common log.” The common log was a rope with knots at regular intervals, attached to a piece of wood shaped like a slice of pie. Mariners would lower the wood piece into the water and allow it to float freely behind the ship for a specific amount of time (often measured with an hourglass). When the time was up, they would count the knots between the ship and the piece of wood, and that number estimated their speed.
