Section 7 CSR 265-10.025 - Marking of Vehicles

(1) Vehicle Markings. Every motor vehicle operated by a motor carrier in intrastate commerce under any property carrier registration, certificate, or permit issued by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission shall be marked in conformity with the requirements of section 390.21 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 390. The commission incorporates by reference in, and makes a part of this rule, the provisions of Title 49 CFR Part 390.21 as published by the United States Government Publishing Office, 732 North Capitol Street NW, Washington DC 20401, on August 14, 2019. This rule does not incorporate any subsequent amendments or additions to 49 CFR Part 390.21 . Motor carriers operating a nonCommercial Driver's License (CDL) passenger-carrying vehicle having a capacity of fifteen (15) passengers or less, excluding the driver, may display on the vehicle's rear bumper, rear window, or otherwise on the rear of the vehicle, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) number assigned to the motor carrier, which shall be marked so it is readily legible during daylight hours from a distance of fifty feet (50') while a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) is stationary and shall contrast sharply in color with the background on which the figures are placed.

(2) If the carrier is engaged in intrastate operations only as authorized by the commission, the carrier is required to include in the vehicle markings the letters "MO" immediately following the carrier's USDOT number.

(3) If an intrastate motor carrier sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers a motor vehicle subject to the provisions of this rule, the seller shall first remove its required markings from the vehicle.
