    Introduction:

    • How to operate under Agriculture Exemption
    • What duty status to use under agriculture exemption

    Steps:

    • If the Ag Exemption applies, all driving time within the 150-air-mile radius of the applicable point can be logged as Off-Duty. Drivers can:
    • Utilize Personal Conveyance and annotate those driving events as Ag Exempt; or
    • Not connect to the Vehicle Gateway, leaving all driving events unidentified, and annotate those driving events as Ag Exempt indicating the driver operating the CMV.
    • Drivers can also log the time as normal driving time and annotate the logs indicating that driving events were Ag Exempt.

    NOTE: This will cause the driver’s countdown alert clocks to be inaccurate.
