wind corridors still need sddot

Call the census telephone. A Sioux Falls or Rapid City cell is not the office until it reaches the legal person on L&I. Match Inc versus LLC on the rate con.

Wind and harvest still need the South Dakota permit when over legal. Minnesota MnDOT, North Dakota NDDOT, or Wyoming WYDOT paper does not cover South Dakota miles. Write the state, then match the MC.

If unused since last season, pull a new L&I snapshot. Seasonal weights are South Dakota rules. They are not 49 CFR 387.9. Re-open L&I the morning of pickup.

FMCSA vs South Dakota

An Active FMCSA property MC is interstate operating authority. It is not a South Dakota oversize permit, not IRP, not IFTA, and not intrastate authority. If this load never leaves South Dakota, ask whether they have the state credential — and still match legal name on L&I if an MC is on the rate con.

As of September 2026, table 1 to 49 CFR 387.9 still lists $750,000, $1,000,000, and $5,000,000. The January 16, 2026 change is broker/freight-forwarder BMC-84/85 at $75,000 — your house, not the truck. The March 2026 FMCSA notice still says: do not buy or sell a USDOT or MC outside a real corporate deal.

UCR is a separate annual filing. It is not BMC-91 and not a SD OS/OW permit. Confirm UCR on the national UCR site if your process requires it. Then come back to L&I for the truck.

South Dakota permits and credentials

South Dakota OS/OW is SDDOT. Wind and harvest corridors still need the South Dakota permit.

South Dakota IRP/IFTA is SDDOT. L&I is BI&PD.

Attach the SDDOT permit for South Dakota miles. Minnesota, North Dakota, or Wyoming paper does not cover them.
