((■) Tarni I rui'k clr.i.vcrs inns t observe tlic daily uiid wpok.ly liniJta- 

 tions as t(j clrivln,i^ and on-duty time. However, any driver^ used wholly 

 in driving a moto)^ vehicle havin,u; not more than two axles and whose 

 gross weight is less than 10,000 pounds is exempt from the limitation 

 on driving hours, unless used to transport passengers, explosives, or 

 other dangerous articles. Drivers of such vehicles are not exempt from 

 the on chity limitations. 



Most tarmers transport by private carriage and if tliey wish ?7iay 

 operate as private carriers wlien transporting their own commodities and 

 supplies to and from their farms. NOTE the limitations above for farm- 

 ers, if a farmer engages in private carriage and transports other prod- 

 uc}ts than liis own products and supplies then he is a private carrier 

 and the regulations of minimum age, physical exams, drivers log, etc. 

 appJy„ A farmer must be one or tlie other , he can' t be both . 



Suggestions: Just in case, get £ physicians certificate for your - 

 self and anyone wlio drives for you (its a good idea anyway) . Keep a_ 

 drivers log , and Keep a^ record of truck maintenance , repairs , lubrica- 

 tion and so on . 



Wlietlier you are a farmer or a private c:arrier, you ilo not have to 

 have ICC plates, but depending on the size of tlie veliicle and its use, 

 you are subject to some regulations.
