The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has exercised its rights and is temporarily waiving hours of service rules for drivers who are aiding recovery efforts from the recent tornado that hit in Moore, Oklahoma. This accommodation is designed to assist in recovery efforts, allowing for critical food, medical, and other relief supplies to be transported into the area.

The current destruction has effected major highways, increasing the difficulty of transporting goods and needed personnel into the area. The temporary waiver is in effect until June 5th, unless recovery efforts require less time in which it will be lifted sooner.
