Permit fees and some restrictions waived

Expires: May 1, 2024

In response to Gov. Mike Parson’s declaration of a drought alert in more than half of Missouri’s counties, the Missouri Department of Transportation is offering a special overwidth hauling permit at no charge to help farmers and ranchers move hay as needed. Loads must be of legal height, length and weight. Permits can be requested using the MoDOT Carrier Express online service, located at www.modot.org/mce.  To ensure the fee is waived, hay haulers should place a comment in the application about the fee waiver. The blanket permit fee of $96 and single trip fee of $15 are waived for hay haulers through May 1, 2024. Click the Read More button for important details.
