The State of North Dakota is taking emergency measures to deliver milk to schools. Two major milk distributors, Lakeview Dairy in Devils Lake and Red River Dairy in Fargo, went out of business due to the lack of qualified truck drivers. That resulted in 44 schools losing their regular milk deliveries. Governor Doug Burgum signed an emergency order temporarily waiving the hours of service requirements for truck drivers delivering milk within North Dakota. A letter is also being sent to drivers who let their commercial driver’s license to expire to consider renewal.
