That makes sense. Do you go three high w/ story and a halfs on that same truck? 120?

You sure could, it would only be a few inches higher. We no longer do any story and a halves.

Sorry to say, but there is a fly in the ointment.
A friend of mine just went through an audit with O-DOT and the gal told him that these exemptions only apply to 150 miles from the farm.
This very nice lady has been wrong before so I am going to contact the farm bureau guy and report back.
Stay tuned.

Give em hell Harry. I thought the gibberish was pretty clear, at least as far as governments regs. go.

Let me try something else.

The Photobucket link to Jim's album worked fine for me. I didn't do anything technical, just clicked on the link Jim provided.

why are your trailers registered 9900 or less? Does it require a cdl if it is more? I never heard of that before.

Yes. If the truck is over 26,000 or the trailer is over 10,000 lbs. Is what the law has read. However what is a source of debate is whether those have been repealed everywhere or just within 150 miles of your home.

Nice pics as well Cory. I am assuming the hives with the nice honey crops came from our cells?

**benstung** · 12-02-2012, 09:07 AM

Yes Jim that is a good assumption.
now just need to know why some weren't as good eh

Any new updates on this? keep getting the run around with my contact at DOT . Must be as clear as mud for them too.

Im wondering if a truck with a farm license still needs to get a trip and fuel permit when going into california.

**beebze** · 01-15-2013, 10:42 PM

I've talked to beekeepers down in Ca and the Ca dot have 3 yrs to implement the new law. And from what I understand Ca is going to take the 3 full yrs to implement these new rule changes. So don't take any chances keep doing what you've been doing.
