Trump administration allows truck drivers hauling gas, diesel to work longer hours
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported21m ago
The Trump administration has temporarily increased the allowable working hours for truck drivers hauling gasoline and diesel, permitting them to drive for up to 16 hours within a 24-hour window. The policy change was announced on Wednesday by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy through a 90-day waiver issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
The emergency action comes as fuel costs remain elevated amid the ongoing Iran war. By extending the driving limits, the administration aims to facilitate the distribution and supply of essential fuel products during a period of market strain.
