Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray signed an official order Wednesday temporarily suspending certain restrictions on motor carriers engaged in transporting petroleum products and ethanol to states affected by the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline Company transmission system.
Secretary Gray says the order is effective through 12:01 a.m. Eastern on June 11 and may be extended, if needed. The order temporarily relieves commercial drivers from maximum driving times and weigh station stops if providing response to affected areas.
To ensure the safety of the traveling public, Gray says carriers must comply with safety requirements and have a copy of the order in the truck cab if operating under the authority of the official order.
