明尼苏达州延长秋收紧急令：农产品运输车辆可超重一成、燃油承运商豁免工时限制
明尼苏达州州长 Tim Walz 签署的第26-12号行政令于10月30日生效，延长10月1日第26-11号行政令的秋收紧急救助安排，背景是该州柴油价格持续高于每加仑6美元。新令允许运输农产品与林产品的车辆在州与地方公路上超重最高10%行驶。
新令把原有的法定秋收超重许可——原本只适用于马铃薯、甜菜与胡萝卜——扩大到玉米、大豆与小麦；同时对运输汽油、乙醇、生物柴油与燃油油等燃料产品、以及运输收获农产品的承运商给予临时驾驶工时豁免。上述安排不适用于州际高速公路与林区道路。驾驶人无需更新驾驶室许可证或缴纳新费用，按州交通厅的特别秋收许可执行。
州长办公室表示，这项紧急安排意在柴油高价与收获季叠加的当口，降低农户与承运商把粮食和燃料运往市场的成本与延误。行政令将持续有效，直至被撤销或到2026年11月29日为止。
Minnesota Extends Harvest Emergency Order: Farm Trucks May Exceed Weight Limits by 10 Percent, Fuel Haulers Get Hours Relief
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's Executive Order 26-12 took effect on October 30, extending the harvest emergency relief first issued in Executive Order 26-11 on October 1, as diesel prices in Minnesota remain above $6 per gallon. The order allows vehicles transporting agricultural and forest products to exceed weight limits by up to 10 percent on state and local highways.
The order extends statutory harvest overweight permits — previously limited to potatoes, sugar beets and carrots — to corn, soybeans and wheat, and grants temporary hours-of-service relief to motor carriers hauling fuel products including gasoline, ethanol, biodiesel and fuel oil, as well as harvest products. The relief excludes interstate highways and forest roads, and drivers need no updated cab card or new fees, operating under the Minnesota Department of Transportation's special harvest permit.
The governor's office said the emergency measures are intended to cut cost and delay for farmers and carriers moving crops and fuel to market while harvest season overlaps with high diesel prices. The order remains in effect until rescinded or until November 29, 2026.
