∙ 9y agoKansas, like pretty much every other state, follows the exemptions from CDL requirements as prescribed by the FMCSA.
A farm truck which would otherwise require a CDL to operate (e.g., single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 lbs. or more or a combination with a GCWR of 26,001 lbs. or more where the trailer has a GVW in excess of 10,000 lbs. - regardless of the GVW of the power unit - the power unit has a GVW of 26,001 lbs. or more, or both) is exempt from requiring a driver with a CDL, so long as the following criteria is met:
- Registered as a farm vehicle (not as a commercial vehicle)
- Used only for the purposes of that farm, and not hired out on any third party business (which is illegal without being registered as a commercial vehicle and operating under ICC authority, anyhow)
- Operated by the farmer, immediate family members of the farmer, or direct (W2) employees of the farmer.
- Operated within a 100 air mile/150 road mile radius of that farm.
