Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed two executive orders to ease transportation restrictions for agricultural products and fuel, citing drought conditions and fuel costs.
Executive Order 2026-09 temporarily eases height and weight restrictions for transporting agricultural products into and out of the state. The order complements Executive Order 2026-08, signed Tuesday, which addressed livestock and livestock feed transportation, the governor's office said.
Executive Order 2026-10 adopts a federal waiver of hours-of-service restrictions for interstate transportation of gasoline and diesel within Wyoming, allowing more frequent deliveries. This follows a federal waiver from President Trump allowing the use of dyed diesel fuel on highways.
"Everyone feels the pain of higher fuel costs. I am pleased to join President Trump in easing that burden through the use of Executive Orders," Gordon said. "My Executive Orders signed this week build upon the President's effort to bring relief to Wyoming constituents."
Gordon noted that the state legislature has authority over state fines and fuel tax refunds, and called on the incoming governor and legislature to consider additional relief measures.
