What happened
Governor Jim Pillen issued executive orders to address fuel supply demands in Nebraska. These orders relaxed hours-of-service requirements for interstate fuel truck drivers and allowed them to exceed weight limits by up to 10%. Despite these measures, some stations in Lincoln have reported low or out-of-stock levels, particularly for ethanol blends.
