Truckers hauling farm goods would get more flexible driving hours and a broader definition of what they can carry.
This bill would give truck drivers who transport farm products and livestock feed more flexible driving hours. It would do this by removing seasonal limits set by each state. The bill would also expand what counts as a "farm product," allowing a wider range of farm items to be transported under these flexible rules.
Today, drivers transporting agricultural goods are exempt from certain hours of service rules only during planting and harvest seasons, as determined by each state. After this bill, these state-determined seasonal limits would be removed. Instead, the exemption would apply year-round within a 150 air-mile radius from either the source or destination of the goods. The definition of "agricultural commodity" would also be significantly broadened to include a wider range of products and living animals.
