FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 2, 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 forecasted torrential rains and flooding.

“Every second matters when lives are on the line,” Secretary Gray said. “This order ensures we can act immediately to deliver support where it’s needed most.”

The order is effective as of April 2, 2025. 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.
