my thoughts exactly. He might even be back in Mexico or South a
America by now. Sad Story. She was such a great woman.


On a side note, some others here dont seem to understand what is law. If a truck(10 wheels) has a 5th wheel plate that couples to a kingpin(under trailer) and trailer sizes are usually 48 or 53 ft. ,by law in the U.S. a driver must carry a CDL CLASS A license. Another thing a "tractor" is a frieghtliner, kdub, petes and volvos etc, not talking about farm equipment like hilly billy jim's john deere tractor. These trucks that pull basically dry vans with the top open to load cane must be "trained" cdl class A personel to drive them. These sugar co ops under pay these people that are shipped here to drive them....totally illegal and dangerous.

Sugarcane might be different beings that most harvested cane is contracted harvesting but I know when you harvest rice if you are hauling your own rice with 150 miles you don’t need a CDL

No, you don’t understand the law. So chill from trying to be a know it all and understand that certain laws have exemptions.
quote:

The only license required for farmers and their employees will be a Class E license as long as they are operating within 150 air miles of the owner or operator's farm. Farm vehicles controlled and operated by a farmer to transport agricultural products, farm machinery, or farm supplies (supplies can include placarded Hazardous Material) to and from a farm within 150 miles of the owner’s or operator’s farm and which is not used in the operation of a common contract carrier.

quote:

The Federal Highway Administration allows states to issue restricted CDLs (farm related service industry waivers) to seasonal drivers which are accepted through reciprocity in all states and which are limited to the following farm related service industries: • Farm retail outlets and suppliers • Agri-chemical businesses • Custom harvesters • Livestock feeders
