The general rule is farmers can drive a semi truck up to 150 air miles away from the farm without a commercial driver鈥檚 license. However, if the 150-mile radius means you鈥檒l have to travel across the state border, then you鈥檒l need a commercial driver鈥檚 license and the same rules that apply to truck drivers will apply to your farm tractor-trailer.
