The “Agricultural Commodity” Exception in 49 CFR 395.1(k)(1) to the Hours of Service Regulations

Guidance Q&A

Question 37: How is the “source of the agricultural commodities” determined if the driver makes multiple pick-ups of the commodity en route to the final destination?

Guidance: When a driver loads some of an agricultural commodity at a “source” and then loads more of that commodity at additional stops, the first place where the commodity was loaded is the measuring point for the 150 air-mile radius.
