Federal license rule to affect farm families
An Alexandria Missouri farmer would be unable to send his teenage son for a pickup load of fertilizer in Keokuk Iowa under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Act rules taking effect July 15. The act requires a commercial license for any driver of a truck weighing 26 000 pounds or more carrying fuel fertilizer or pesticides, with phased in implementation and possible waivers. Members of Congress seek exemptions for farm trucks and limited annual mileage while states set minimum standards and testing requirements for drivers.
