FMCSA Issues Hours of Service Regional Waiver
On August 31, 2017, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) signed a regional declaration emergency waiver for Hours of Service (HOS) for 26 states, including:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia
The emergency declaration responds to emergency conditions created as a result of Harvey, including anticipated fuel shortages in the affected states and jurisdictions, which will create a need for immediate transportation of fuel products, including gasoline, diesel fuels, kerosene, jet fuel, aviation fuel, propane and home heating oil, into and from the affected states and jurisdictions to provide necessary relief. |
