BISMARCK–Gov. Doug Burgum signed an executive order Tuesday granting a waiver of hours-of-service requirements for drivers of commercial vehicles transporting propane.
North Dakota faces extremely low inventories of propane as a result of market conditions impacted by severe seasonal weather and increased heating fuel demands, the order states. Waiving the hours-of-service requirement will help carriers avoid delays and deliver propane to meet the state’s needs.
The 30-day waiver is effective Tuesday. All road safety and vehicle compliance regulations still apply.
