The action temporarily suspends the limits on hours drivers spend operating fuel delivery vehicles.
FMCSA usually takes these actions in response to potential delivery delays related to winter weather, hurricanes and flooding events in consultation with the petroleum products production and distribution industries.
"In consideration of the critical need for timely and efficient distribution and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel and current global supply chain disruptions, FMCSA believes limited, temporary hours of service flexibility should be provided for the interstate motor carriers transporting gasoline and diesel fuel to address potential increases in transportation and agricultural harvesting demands."
