For a move inside Missouri, hire a household goods carrier that has MoDOT Motor Carrier Services operating authority. MoDOT publishes an official list of authorized transporters and a consumer guidebook.
If your move starts or ends in Missouri but crosses a state line, FMCSA and ProtectYourMove.gov control the household goods rules. Verify the USDOT number, get a written estimate, and do not confuse those federal rules with MoDOT's in-state tariff system.
For an in-state Missouri move, a binding estimate is a contract that MoDOT's consumer guide describes as good for 30 days. A non-binding estimate is not a contract. Sign a bill of lading before the truck is loaded.
For an in-state Missouri move, MoDOT Motor Carrier Services is the regulator to call about authority and tariff issues. Note damage on the delivery receipt, follow the bill of lading, and use federal channels for interstate shipments.
Title a vehicle in Missouri within 30 days of becoming a resident. Apply for a Missouri driver license as soon as you establish residency. A CDL must be transferred within 30 days. Bring insurance, inspections, and tax proof.
A Missouri landlord may not take a security deposit larger than two months' rent. The deposit or an itemized accounting is due within 30 days after the tenancy ends. Pet deposits are defined separately.
