Emergency orders this winter have been flying across the desks of governors, including Gov. Spencer Cox, addressing the movement of heating fuel for homes and businesses.
Tom Clark, executive director of the, which covers the West, said the orders were vital during the hard-hitting storms that pummeled much of the nation in December, especially over the holidays, to get heating fuel to the market because of their vital role in health and public safety.
"Even though you might have been sitting in line waiting to get some type of heating product and you're not tired, there's a storm coming in, and you need to be able to drive outside of those federal limits that have been put into place for over-the-road, long-haul truckers," he said. "This puts regional and local deliveries in a jam because we're trying to follow a federal rule that doesn't always fit the local environment.
Those hours of relief do not impact the required time for rest and can be broken up, offering greater flexibility for drivers, he added.
