Indiana
Governor Eric Holcomb has signed an executive order to ease restrictions on
truck drivers carrying propane.
According
to the order, drivers are exempt from regulations restricting their hours of
service.
Holcomb
says Hoosiers are experiencing unseasonably cold weather which has increased
the demand for propane for ag operations. He says demand for propane exceeds
the locally available supply of propane and has caused drivers transporting
propane to drive longer distances.
The order is effective until December 2.
