Truck drivers won't need permits to haul loads up to 12 feet wide. Normally, a special permit is required for loads more than 8 1/2 feet wide.

The order applies both when truckers are transporting hay within Kansas and when they're driving through Kansas to deliver hay in Oklahoma and Texas.

However, the latest order restricts travel at night and during bad weather, limitations that hadn't been in place previously.
