They are the same Dave. A pickup with a farm or log farm tag would is fine without a CDL. Even a deuce with a farm tag would be fine more than 150 miles from home but the once you cross 26001 lbs you must have a CDL if farther then 150 miles from home. Also if you are closer than 150 miles from home with a vehicle over the 26001 lbs gross limit then you must have an F endorsement to your regular class D license.

In other words, if Paul did get a farm tag or log farm tag he would need an F endorsement to drive the five ton on the road.


To answer Lane's question. I take out a book copy of traffic code with me when I work the road. I am on a bicycle now so I don't have the room. I do have an office downtown and keep my laptop there with the PDF copy. Most cops do not know all the traffic laws but they know most of them. I asked around and got mixed answers as to private use of big trucks. Most of us if we have a question we would call a motor enforcement officer. The big thing is I know of no officer that will stop or write a ticket on something he does not know for sure. If in doubt we will not stop the violation and look it up later.
