DOT To Mandate All Farm Vehicles Require CDL Licenses, Could Bring Demise To Farmers
In Late May, the DOT proposed a rule change for farm equipment, and if it this allowed to take effect, it will place significant regulatory pressure on small farms and family farms all across America -- costing them thousands of dollars and possibly forcing many of them out of business. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), part of the Department of Transportation (DOT), wants new standards that would require all farmers and everyone on the farm to obtain a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) in order to operate any farming equipment. The agency is going to accomplish this by reclassifying all farm vehicles and implements as Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs).
(It is also important to note here that DOT Secretary Ray LaHood holds a seat on the newly created White House Rural Council. A powerful group whose members have ties to George Soros and The Center For American Progress.)
The move by the DOT appears to be "legislation through regulation." By reclassifying all farm vehicles and implements as Commercial Vehicles, the federal government will now be able to claim regulatory control over the estimated 800,000 farm workers in America, at the same time, overriding the rights of the states.
The proposed change also means ANYONE driving a tractor or operating any piece of motorized farming equipment would be forced to pass the same rigorous tests and fill out the same detailed forms and diaries required of semi-tractor trailer drivers. This reclassification would bury small farms and family farms in regulation and paperwork.

I don't understand why people are doing this farmers. Don't they remember we are the ones who produce the food for EVERYONE to eat? And, there's nothing wrong with us farm kids having to do a little extra work. It may seem "dangerous" to some people, but if you have never experienced it, then you can not judge it and you can not tell us we can't do it. It's our way of life and no one has any right to take it away from us.

@MrMathewsHunter ..."properly trained"? It was my experience on the farm and in construction that allowed me to climb right into a "big truck" and safely operate it from day one. You learn a great respect for large equipment on the farm. Surely, you don't think a 28 day course teaches you more than years of experience!

Getting closer to chains or revolution everyday. The tighter their grip, the more we will slip through their grasp.

That law, if it took affect, would be unenforceable in the majority of cases. You'll never need a license and you don't need to follow any traffic laws if you're on private property. They can only try to pull over people on public roads.
It would only affect the farmers who buy lots that are spread out all over the place.

does anyone care about America? I'm talking about the Dems and Reb alike, none of them care about America anymore just only about how much gold they can line their pockets off the back of the hard working people who put them into office. I suggest that before you vote in this November election that you do some research about the candicate your thinking of voting for and then pray about it if you believe in God, after all who you vote for, may affect your life good or bad.
