THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION PLAN (IRP)IFTA is an agreement among all states (except Alaska and Hawaii) and Canadian provinces (except Northwestern Territories, Nunavut and Yukon) to simplify the reporting of fuel used by motor carriers operating in more than one jurisdiction. It allows motor carriers to obtain a single fuel license and set of decals. Carriers file quarterly fuel use tax returns with their base state or province. The base state transfers payments to states or provinces the carrier traveled (or obtains refunds) based on the amount of fuel purchased and miles traveled within each jurisdiction.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE MANUALSafety Compliance Manual by chapter (includes forms)
SKILL PERFORMANCE & MEDICAL WAIVERProspective drivers who do not meet the physical qualifications stated in the federal motor carrier safety regulations can request an exemption to work in Missouri. MoDOT can grant a medical exemption for intrastate commercial drivers by issuing a Skill Performance Evaluation (SPE) certificate if the individual meets alternate standards which satisfy the department that the applicant can safely operate a commercial vehicle. Drivers must apply either on their own or jointly with a sponsoring employer. MoDOT can only issue SPE Certificates to applicants who are not physically qualified because of limb amputation, limb impairment, vision impairment, or insulin treated diabetes mellitus. If a person is not physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle for any other cause or reason, MoDOT cannot issue that person a SPE Certificate. MoDOT offers this program for intrastate drivers only. Anyone seeking a medical exemption for interstate transportation, or to drive across any state boundary, must submit an application to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) instead. Please visit FMCSA for more information. MoDOT may waive some state application requirements if an applicant for an intrastate SPE Certificate already possesses a valid interstate SPE Certificate, vision exemption or diabetes exemption issued by FMCSA. See the instruction and application forms for details. Please contact our office if you have questions, or need additional forms or information relating to an application for issuance of a SPE Certificate for a Missouri intrastate driver. Call toll-free, 1-866-831-6277 and ask to speak with the medical exemption program specialist. Original documents of all forms must be submitted to MoDOT. We cannot accept copies or faxes.
