scmn | How far will you be traveling. If you leave the 150 air mile radius (172.6 statute/land mile radius) you will no longer be able to use the driver CFR exemption. So long as you stay within 172.6 miles of home you can utilize the driver CFV exemptions, further than that you will lose the driver CFV exemptions and will need everything.
As far as vehicle plates go, it is a CFV since you have farm tags. One of the changes with MAP21 was that farm tags designate a CFV and other states must recognize the farm tags.
What is a “covered farm vehicle” (CFV)? As defined in 49 CFR 390.5, a “covered farm vehicle” (CFV): - Travels in the State in which the vehicle is registered or in another State,
- Is operated by an owner or operator of a farm or ranch, or by a family member or employee of the owner or operator
- Transports agricultural commodities, livestock, machinery or supplies to or from a farm or ranch
- Has a license plate or some other means specified by the State that identifies it as a farm vehicle
- Is not used in for-hire motor carrier operations (but for-hire operations do not include use of a vehicle owned and operated by a tenant farmer to transport the landlord’s portion of the crops under a crop-share agreement)
- [From § 390.39] Is not transporting hazardous materials that require placarding, and either of the following:
- Has a GVW or GVWR (whichever is greater) of 26,001 or less, in which case the CFV exemptions in § 390.39 apply anywhere in the United States
- Has a GVW or GVWR (whichever is greater) of more than 26,001 pounds and travels within the State where it is registered or, if traveling out of the State where it is registered, stays within a 150 air miles of the owner or operator’s farm or ranch
The farm plate identifies it as a CFV. Not much IL can do if KY does not require the trailer to be plated when owned by a KY resident and pulled by a KY vehicle. The IoH exemption likely applies to permits.
