Vehicle Registration Farmers may choose to register their vehicles with farm registration, or register on a proportional basis, if the farm registered vehicle is going to be operated in more than one state. Hauling for hire, with few exceptions, requires a 1A authority registration. Contact Farm Registration Desk, ODOT, MCTD, 378-5203 for information on farm vehicle registration. Inspections Farm vehicles up to 80,000 lbs. are exempt from ODOT, MCDT safety requirements. Farm trucks over 22,000 lbs. are required to stop at weigh stations.
Many farms use and transport hazardous materials.
The Federal Hazardous Materials Table specifies which materials are hazardous. Vehicles hauling hazardous materials must be properly placarded with warning signs on the container labels and the vehicle. The person who loads the vehicle must place the placards on the front, rear, and both sides of the vehicle. Hazardous materials drivers also must know which products they can load together and which products must be loaded separately.
