Farm Endorsement
Persons may obtain a farm endorsement on a regular driver license (Non-Commercial Class C), provisional (Non-Commercial Class C) driver license, or any Commercial Driver License (CDL).
 
This endorsed license authorizes the operation of Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV) when:
  • Controlled or operated by a farmer;
  • Used to transport agricultural products, farm machinery, or farm supplies to and from a farm;
  • Not used in the operation of a common or contract motor carrier; and
  • Operated within 150 miles of the farmer’s farm.
A farm endorsement includes authorization to operate commercial motor vehicles equipped with air brakes, tankers, double trailers, and vehicles transporting hazardous materials, when the vehicle is properly placarded.
 
A farm endorsement does not allow the transportation of farm workers or other passengers. If the driver transports passengers, a CDL with a passenger endorsement is needed.

How to Apply
To apply you must:
(Note that test fees are collected prior to testing.  Issuance fees are collected after all requirements are met, including passing all required tests.  Please be prepared to make separate payments for testing and issuance fees, where applicable.)

Oregon Farm Vehicles in Idaho
Under the terms of the reciprocity agreements with the States of Idaho and Washington, an Oregon CMV operator with a farm endorsement may operate into those states. This privilege is subject to the same limitations as apply in Oregon.
