In response to the continued effects of storms and flooding, the Missouri has issued an emergency declaration to waive certain state and federal regulations for carriers who participate in emergency relief efforts.
While this declaration is in effect, participating carriers offering relief by transporting agricultural commodities away from the affected areas, who haul overweight/over-dimension loads may benefit from the waiver while under load. Carriers must carry a copy of this declaration in the vehicle while operating in response to relief efforts.
NONE of the emergency provisions apply to carriers who are not directly involved in emergency relief efforts.
