COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order Thursday morning waiving some transportation regulations ahead of Friday’s winter weather potential.
The order states the state is expected to receive “a mix of rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow” that has “the potential to disrupt essential utility services and other critical systems” throughout South Carolina.
McMaster’s executive order lifts “certain rules and regulations” regarding commercial vehicles and operators transporting material necessary for utility services, debris removal or other essentials.
These regulations include rules on vehicles’ registration, permitting, length, weight, width, load and hours of service. With the order, commercial vehicles are granted flexibility to prevent interruption and delay in the transportation of essential goods.
These goods include “food, water, medicine, medical supplies and equipment, fuels and petroleum products, livestock, poultry, animal feed, crops and other agricultural products.
