Propane marketers sometimes face hazardous driving when helping customersHours-of-Service Exemptions
Winter 2012-2013

The 2012-2013 heating season began on October 1, 2012 and officially ends on March 31, 2013. State authorities issue HOS exemptions to a company's drivers during time of emergencies. These HOS exemptions affect certain sections of the FMCSA rules, which govern the operating hours for drivers of commercial motor vehicles. 

The exemptions allow marketers to deliver critical propane heating supplies to their customers during times of severe weather, when bad roads cause significant delays in travel time to a customer's tank location. 

NPGA strives to provide the most current listings. However, we need your assistance to do so. If an HOS waiver is issued in your state and you do not see it posted on our website, please forward a copy of the relevant waiver or exemption document to the following at NPGA: Tara Falls at tfalls@npga.org or fax to 202-466-7205.
