COVID-19 Emergency Waivers Update

As of October 15 COVID-19 Waivers are no longer in effect. The National Emergency Declaration was set to expire on 10/15/2022, and at this time FMCSA has not issued any extension. The American Trucking Associations has provided feedback to FMCSA the last few weeks that there was no longer a need for COVID-19 exemptions, and encouraged the Agency to let them expire. Last week, FMCSA indicated it was likely these would expire, and we are currently confirming there are no plans for further extensions. The waivers that have been in place for the last 2 years and 7 months have been sunset.
