Greetings Members-
I just received notification that FMCSA has issued the following waiver for 40 states including South Dakota.
This is for all products and expires on February 6, 2026.
Please make a copy and place in each vehicle.
By execution of this Emergency Declaration, motor carriers and drivers providing direct assistance supporting emergency relief efforts involving transportation and other relief services incident to the immediate restoration of essential supplies or services in the Affected States are granted emergency relief from 49 CFR § 395.3, maximum driving time for property-carrying vehicles, and 49 CFR § 395.5, maximum driving time for passenger-carrying vehicles, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein. The regulatory relief under this Emergency Declaration applies regardless of the origin of the trip, so long as the carrier or driver is providing direct assistance to the emergency in the Affected States.
