Nebraska Gas Pumps Run Dry

Truckers spent more than an hour waiting to fill up with fuel for delivery as some gas pumps ran dry across the state on Wednesday.

Nebraska’s governor has issued an executive order that will allow gasoline truck drivers to alter their hours of service.
Gov. Dave Heineman’s executive order said that supplies are unusually tight, so he is waiving Nebraska Revised Statute 75-363, which deals with the hours truck drivers can stay on the state’s road before they are required to take a break.

Heineman’s order said fuel haulers are “experiencing much longer time waiting in supply lines at all available terminals, and the extra time is creating hardship for gasoline and diesel fuel supply.”
