If I move to North Dakota, how many days do I have before my out-of-state CDL is deemed invalid?

Are there CDL exemptions for North Dakota farmers driving farm equipment?
Yes, and they are:
- Any farmer driving a two-axle, tandem axle, or truck-tractor farm vehicle for the purpose of moving farm machinery, produce or farm supplies within 150 miles of his or her farm does not need a CDL.
- Any farmer transporting hazardous material within 150 miles of his farm does not need a hazardous material endorsement.
