FRANKFORT, Ky. (Feb. 14, 2025) – Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray has signed an official order to temporarily suspend certain restrictions on commercial motor carriers that will be engaged in debris removal, power restoration, or supplying gasoline, propane, and diesel fuels to areas affected by the forecast torrential rains and flooding.

“Every second counts in an emergency, and this official order gives us the ability to provide for those in need without delay,” Secretary Gray said.

The order is effective as of February 14, 2025, and will remain in effect for 14 days. It temporarily relieves commercial drivers transporting approved relief supplies from maximum driving times and weigh stations.

To ensure the safety of the traveling public, 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.
