Under-21 harvest drivers: interstate permission

This directly affects drivers under 21 who need to drive across state lines for custom harvesting.
Custom harvester businesses: retain interstate drivers
U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc. applied to renew an exemption from the 'K' intrastate CDL restriction so companies engaged in interstate custom harvesting could have drivers under 21 operate across state lines. FMCSA is asking for public comment on that renewal request.
