Missouri had some new changes effective February 28, 2009 that require basically the same thing. Companies that request oversize or overweight permits must submit proof of insurance with MoDOT Motor Carrier Services by February 28, 2009. Those who fail to provide an insurance certificate or Form E will be denied permit privileges until a document of proof is filed.
Oversize and overweight loads must be insured according to the type of move and insurance must be in force for the duration of each permit period. Additional coverage is often required of excessively overweight loads because the highway system is at greater risk of damage from these loads. Insurance companies should send a copy of the insurance certificate to MoDOT Motor Carrier Services by mail, e-mail, fax, courier or in person. Form E documents can be sent electronically.
MoDOT Motor Carrier Services must be named as a certificate holder on the insurance certificate. The office address must also appear as follows:
MoDOT Motor Carrier Services
1320 Creek Trail Drive
PO Box 893
Jefferson City, MO
Minimum Liability amounts are:
Minimum Limits of Combined Single Limit Automobile Liability
Routine $750,000
Super Heavy and Large Loads $2,000,000
Noncommercial Building (House) $2,000,000 Movement

A few more details on the Missouri oversize changes.........
Name Change Among Several New OS/OW Regulations
Oversize. It’s a lot easier to say – and much easier to spell than overdimension…or is that over-dimension?
By adopting Oversize/Overweight as the name of the former OD/OW function, MoDOT joins most states in our region in using the same name. That, and a recent change to Missouri’s maximum permittable weights allowing 46,000 lbs. on a tandem and 72,000 lbs. on a quadrum will help smooth routing decisions for carriers who move large or heavy loads across several states.
Major changes to the OS/OW regulations effective Febru¬ary 28, 2009 include:
Permits may be revised within two business days of the permit effective date only.
Every company that requests an OS/OW permit must file proof of insurance with MoDOT Motor Carrier Ser¬vices by February 28, 2009.
Trailer and load length justification is not required.
Elimination of pre-issued/prepaid permits.
Bridge study charges apply if a superload change re¬quest requires a new route.
Carriers must physically run the permitted route if the vehicle and load measure more than 120’ long to be certain the load can negotiate all turns. Failure to run a route prior to the move may result in a penalty.
Superloads are allowed to move on weekends if they are less than 14’ wide.
Applicants may be required to have a minimum of $425 in escrow before superload applications are pro¬cessed.
