Regulatory relief will be granted if the driver is transporting livestock and livestock feed; medical supplies and equipment for testing; vaccines and other products related to vaccines; personal protective equipment and other safety and sanitization products; food and paper products; fuel products; and building materials and other supplies to assist those affected by pandemic-related issues.
Direct assistance does not include nonemergency transportation of qualifying commodities or routine commercial deliveries, including mixed loads with a nominal quantity of qualifying emergency relief, according to the Nov. 29 announcement from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which regulates the U.S. trucking industry.
