CAN YOU CLEAR THE "FOG"?

CAN YOU CLEAR THE "FOG"?

Let's see if anyone can make this clearer for me. A 6 axle rig with a live bottom and "farm" plates, if this farmer is able to use this rig limitlessly as long as it use for the farm and he hauls only one way the product he buys for farm use does not have to follow the new DOT HOS rules? say for instance he needs to drive 400 miles to get something like feed for his farm and he leaves at 8am on Monday, lets say he gets there at 4pm just in time to get loaded and he's done and out by 6pm, now according the laws for OTR plates we can only drive till 10:00pm and we have to stop. Now this farmer is able to just blow through and get back home at 2:00am making it a total of 18hrs on duty? This is just an extreme example to simplfy my question, I just need to be a little clearer on this subject.
