Section 165:30-25-1 - Harvest permits

(a) Motor carriers engaged in the interstate or intrastate commercial transportation of farm products in a raw state on a seasonal basis may desire to meet their vehicle registration, fuel permitting and/or intrastate operating authority requirements via a harvest permit.

(b) An applicant for a harvest permit shall file with the Commission a written application on the appropriate form prescribed by the Commission (TOSS1), and shall tender with the application a filing fee as prescribed by law or by Commission rule.

(c) The applicant shall be assigned a personal identification number (PIN) which shall be the permanent identification number for all matters relating to authority granted therein. Any application thereafter filed to extend the harvest permit or to obtain an additional harvest permit by the same applicant shall be filed under the same PIN.

(d) A harvest permit shall be personal to the holder thereof and shall be issued only to an individual, a corporation, a limited liability corporation, a partnership or some other legally recognized entity. A trade name or "doing business as" (DBA) may be designated, but cannot be a corporate name or LLC or LLP or another organized entity.

(e) The filing of an application for a harvest permit does not of itself authorize operations by the applicant. Such operations are prohibited until all requirements have been met and a harvest permit has been issued. All requirements for compliance with this Section shall be completed within ninety (90) days from receipt of the application or the application will be denied and any filing fees paid forfeited.

The insured's name on the insurance certificate must match the owner or registrant's name as shown on the registration of the vehicle. A Form E liability insurance certificate issued on behalf of the motor carrier may be submitted in lieu of individual insurance certificates.

(8) Declaration stating the applicant shall comply with federal safety regulations and the state's size and weight laws and rules.

(9) Requested permit duration.

(10) Required permit effective date.
