Gov. Gordon executive orders issued Oct. 9 aim to ease burden of fuel costs

CHEYENNE (WTE) — Gov. Mark Gordon on Friday, Oct. 9, issued two executive orders that will enhance the ability to transport agricultural products, gasoline and diesel across the Cowboy State, a news release from the governor’s office said.

Executive Order 2026-09 temporarily eases the height and weight restrictions for the transportation of all agricultural products.

This E.O. complements E.O. 2026-08, signed Tuesday, Oct. 6, which specifically deals with livestock and livestock feed and extended an earlier order. The drought throughout much of Wyoming continues to impact Wyoming agricultural industry, and temporarily allowing larger loads of all agricultural products to be transported into or out of Wyoming will provide much needed relief for Wyoming’s citizens and businesses, the release said.

Executive Order 2026-10 adopts the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Hours of Service Waiver for interstate transportation of gasoline and diesel to waive certain hours of service restrictions within the state of Wyoming. This order will allow additional deliveries of gasoline and diesel not only within Wyoming, but also for those deliveries coming from outside Wyoming, the release said.

“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 in the release.
