Temporary Relaxation: Fuel Transport Flexibility

The Trump administration has temporarily adjusted service rules for truck drivers transporting gasoline and diesel. Announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the 90-day waiver allows extended driving hours to address short-term supply chain disruptions impacting fuel deliveries.

In a bid to ease supply chain bottlenecks, the U.S. Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, announced a temporary relaxation of service rules for drivers transporting gasoline and diesel.

The new regulation permits drivers to operate for up to 16 hours within a 24-hour period, provided they adhere to mandatory rest breaks.

This move aims to address disruptions that could delay fuel shipments and subsequently affect freight delivery.
