desks for this cover

FMCSA L&I
Interstate authority and BMC-91. A river crossing does not skip the filing.
MoDOT vs Illinois
Missouri OS/OW is MoDOT. Illinois miles are not a Missouri permit. East St. Louis is Illinois.
Not Kansas City
Kansas City is the other end of I-70 plus Kansas. St. Louis is the Mississippi. Write the pickup.

first-touch in St. Louis

  • Is this pickup Missouri or Illinois?
  • Do legal name, MC, and DOT on the rate con match L&I?
  • If oversize, is MoDOT or the Illinois permit (the one for these miles) in hand?
  • Does the census telephone reach this motor carrier?
  • Is this St. Louis, or did someone mean Kansas City or Memphis?

stop and do not cover

  • Illinois miles covered on a Missouri permit only, or the reverse.
  • Kansas City or Memphis paperwork reused without a new identity check.
  • Name mismatch or census phone that will not state the DOT.
  • Intrastate-only Missouri authority on an Illinois delivery.

the mississippi is the cover

Write Missouri or Illinois on the rate con. Then match the MC to L&I. Do not cover Illinois miles on a MoDOT screenshot. Do not cover Missouri miles on an Illinois permit only.

Sauget or Granite City is Illinois. Earth City or Hazelwood is Missouri. The bridge does not merge the desks.

identity on i-70 east

Call the census telephone. Ordinary van through St. Louis is a common place for double-brokered MCs. A second company on the phone is a stop.

Memphis is down I-55, not this metro. If the pin is West Memphis, you want the Memphis desk. Confirm the city.

open deck and the river hills

Machinery still needs Subpart I securement. Oversize needs the state the truck will actually run. Local posted bridges are not waived by an Active MC.
