The rumor(comes from many of the horses mouth's) all over the Acadiana area is that police/sheriff/state boys look the other way.


Nobody is looking the other way. Those trucks hauling cane are considered “farm equipment” and unless something has changed over the last few years, you are not required to have a cdl to drive “farm equipment”. Same for a tractor in that you don’t even need a drivers license to drive a tractor.

And yes, those clowns driving are brought in just for harvesting season and then shipped back out.

If you operate a tractor truck over 25,000 lbs GRVW on a public road in Louisiana, legally you must have the appropriate licensure, which is a valid CDL.

Federal Highway money is used by the DOTD & local governments to build & maintain State roads; there is no exemption for licensure because it’s related to farm work by the feds.

They may be shipped somewhere else, but it damn sure isn’t back to Honduras.
