Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division

The Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division is responsible for enforcing the laws, rules and regulations for the State of Missouri dealing with commercial vehicles. In doing so, we support the mission of the Missouri State Highway Patrol to promote and ensure highway safety.

Currently there are 132 Commercial Vehicle Officers/Inspectors located throughout the state. These officers are assigned to 24 fixed scale sites and 26 portable scales. The fixed scale facilities are located on the Interstate and U.S. Highways. The portable scales units are assigned throughout the state and are responsible for working by-pass routes and within the commercial zones of the larger metropolitan areas in Missouri. Each Commercial Vehicle Officer/Inspector is certified to conduct various levels of safety inspections, as well as hazardous material inspections. The Division currently has seventeen officers trained to perform Level VI inspections on vehicles transporting spent nuclear fuel shipments and fifteen officers trained to perform motor coach inspections.

The Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division is responsible for entry and upload of all safety inspection to SAFETYNET. This allows the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to give motor carriers a safety rating.

The Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division welcomes you to this web site and we hope you find it informative. If you plan to travel through Missouri, welcome to the state and please have a safe trip.
