President Trump Signs Executive Order to Lower Diesel Costs for Truckers and Farmers

President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to temporarily allow the use of off-road 'dyed' diesel for highway vehicles and defer the federal excise tax on it through the end of the year. This action aims to reduce fuel costs for American truckers and farmers amidst elevated diesel prices and tightened global supply. The Department of Transportation also waived hours of service rules for truck drivers handling fuel shipments.
