US DEPT TRANSPORTATION / FMCSA
Thursday 10/11/2018

US DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA) has opened their Routing Hotline for Hurricane Michael
 
This can be used by utilities and their contractors
 
1-833STORM18 OR  (1-833-786-7618)
 
What is this?

A new routing service hotline from US Dept of Trans / FMCSA backed up by people who monitor multiple sources of traffic data sources (e.g. local, state, social media, WAZE, etc…) and provide callers with the latest available route using a caller provided “beginning and ending destinations” info

NOTE: Please be patient respectful and have 1 person from your fleet call (or your dispatcher) make the call ……to get the information and reduce the call volumes
 
 Directions

  • Call 1-833-786-7618
  • Provide the START and END destination information to  the agent
  • Provide the vehicle HEIGHT to the agent so they can use side routes that may have bridges…. Don’t want to hit any non-standard height bridges along side routes so they need the truck heights
  • Be patient… they get lots of call at time

Subject: Illinois - Utility Convoys Responding to Hurricane Michael

Good Afternoon Partners:
 
In anticipation of the devastation that may be caused by Hurricane Michael, a Presidential Declaration of Emergency under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act ("Stafford Act") (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), has been declared (EM-3405) for Florida.  
 
Utility vehicles traveling in convoys to the state of Florida in response to the restoration of electric, water, or other utility services critical to life and safety as a result of Hurricane Michael, may bypass all open weigh stations within the state of Illinois.  Search and rescue vehicles traveling in convoy for response to Hurricane Michael may bypass all open weigh stations within the state of Illinois.  The lead vehicle in the convoy must pull into the scale and advise the Truck Weighing Inspector, or ISP Officer in the scale of the convoy and their intended destination.
 
Vehicles exceeding legal size and weight limits must comply with Illinois permitting requirements and order a permit online through the ITAP system.
