To declare this exception the drivers must be transporting construction materials and equipment to or from an active construction site that is within a 75 air mile radius of the driver’s normal work reporting location and is at a stage between initial mobilization of equipment and materials to the site and final completion of the construction project. This exception does not apply to drivers transporting hazardous materials in a quantity that requires placarding.

To declare this exception the vehicles must be used in the furtherance of repairing, maintaining, or operating any physical facilities necessary for the delivery of public utility services and must be engaged in any activity necessarily related to the ultimate delivery of public utility services to the consumer, including travel to, from, or between activity sites. The public utility is not required to be the owner of the vehicle.
