Fireworks Haulers Granted Fourth of July Rule Break
Federal exemptions allow 3,000 commercial drivers and about 50 companies carrying an estimated 10 million pounds of fireworks to extend on duty hours during the July 4th holiday. Safety groups warn fatigue risks, while industry officials say the measure is needed to deliver and set up displays nationwide. The exemption lasts during the 11 day period around the holiday, with drivers still subject to core limits.
