In my state there is an exemption for farmers, their immediate family, and employees. They can get restricted type of CDL without taking a driving test, and aren't subject to drug and alcohol screening. They just have certain restrictions basically limited to farming activity.
In my country, farmers unfortunately have similar exceptions. It must be said though, that they rarely drive through towns and cities (and a good thing it is, because most seem to be rather careless).
Ours drive grain to large silos which are usually built next to railroad tracks. There are very small towns that exist only because of the grain silo. The trucks are common enough that you see them on highways and in town. I usually try to stay away from them because they don't take care of them very well. I've seen them with completely bald tires.
