According to today's USDA Grain Transportation Report, on December 19, the Governor of North Dakota issued an hours-of-service (HOS) waiver for the transport of fuel, including diesel, and propane.

The order is intended to help meet the increased demand created by severe winter storms and cold temperatures and help ensure adequate availability of fuels to farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses.

The waiver is effective through January 18, 2023.
