According to today's USDA Grain Transportation Report, in Nebraska and South Dakota, diesel and gasoline shortages prompted the governors of those States to issue emergency executive orders temporarily waiving Federal hours-of-service mandates for drivers hauling fuel.
On June 10, the South Dakota governor declared a 30-day state of emergency exempting deliveries of "diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, propane, ethyl alcohol, and natural gas."
On June 6, the Nebraska governor extended through September 4 an earlier emergency HOS waiver.
Like the earlier waiver, the new order exempts deliveries of diesel, biodiesel, gasoline or gasoline blends, fuel oil, ethanol and propane.
