Farm truck out of state?

I think your best bet to start is with your local CMV office,I'm sure you will still an oversize permit , but I would talk to the CMV office first.

 

You might try asking someone that does custom work that crosses state lines, they may be able to give you some ideas.

 

most likely you will need a dot number and IFTA sticker. and insurance,but you maight get around all that by putting your name or business name and the words Not For Hire on the truck. I would guess you would need trip permits for the states you will run in plus oversize permits. Is the tractor that wide or is it just the axles sticking out.Maybe call a dealer and ask them how they do it

 

if your transporting the equipment for your farm, i don't believe you will need usdot or mc#'s you will need trip permits for registation for the states your not plated for and oversize permits.

 

This is 100% correct. No numbers needed just permits for each state you cross through for oversize and trip permits. Easy.

 

I farm in SW KS MO and KS has a deal with farm trucks for farm use not for hire. going over 150 miles from your house u need a class A CDL and will have to have a log book and run legal hours. No dot # or that stuff. Being 11 FOOT WIDE u have to check on over size farm u can be a little over but no how far u can go. CO depends on where your going I have took a semi and got a 43 foot air seeder and air cart and came home no 1 even looked at me.

 

My experience with USDOT is that you will need medical card, DOT#, drug consortium, I may be forgetting something here also. With the distance, you'll need CDL and logbook. The auditor told me that once you cross a state line, you're operating in interstate commerce, and subject to all applicable USDOT regs. I don't know about MX# with machinery, I haul hay and cattle which are exempt commodities. All the hassle to operate across state lines lead to me just running commercial and taking loads from the truckers who were always whining about ranchers hauling their own cattle. The finally stacked enough regs on a guy that it was a small step to run commercial. Commercial cow haulers should be careful what they wish for.

From what I understand you don't need IFTA if you stop and buy fuel permits in each state.
