HVUT Form 2290 Filing Solution for Truckers from Missouri (MO)

Missouri Trucking Industry

On March 22, 1913, the Missouri Legislature created the Missouri Highway Department. Almost immediately afterwards, construction began across the state to link adjoining county seats with paved and maintained roadways.

By the beginning of the next decade, Legislatures were trying to “get Missouri out of the mud” realizing that economic prosperity and growth were integrally tied to transportation. Over the decades MoDOT has managed to keep Missouri moving. Today the state serves as a transportation crossroads for the entire nation.

There are 4,800 miles of railroad tracks, 1,379 miles of Interstates, 125 public-use airports and 15 public ports. If you’re trying to get goods from one side of the country to the other, it’s likely they’ll pass them through Missouri.

It’s safe to say that the Show-Me state will retain its position as the crossroads of the United States, and MoDOT will be here for another 100 years, leading the nation in innovation, efficiency and customer service.

Our mission is to provide a world-class transportation system that is safe, innovative, reliable and dedicated to a prosperous Missouri.
