HAULS Act of 2025

This bill changes federal hours-of-service exemptions for truck drivers who haul farm products. It removes the limit that the exemption applies only during planting and harvest seasons set by each state, so it would apply year-round. Drivers carrying agricultural commodities within 150 air-miles of either the source or the destination would be covered. The bill also requires the Secretary of Transportation, within 180 days, to expand the federal definition of "agricultural commodity" to include items such as live animals, milk, eggs, honey, forestry products, minimally processed fruits and vegetables, and animal feed.
