I'm trying to find out what is required, permit wise, to haul liquor. I'm leased to a small company and I'm having a hard time getting information on this subject from anyone. I know certain states require transport permits, how do I go about getting those and is anything else required from the DOT or insurance? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

What states are you planning your route through?
Any time I need to know a regulation for a certain state or if a permit is required I call the states DOT office or a local DOT headquarters if I can find one. -

My dad used to transport Miller beer from Fort Worth, TX regularly and I asked him what he did to find out if a permit was required in a certain state. He recommended calling the states ABC, or Alcoholic Beverage Commission for information.
Hope it helps. -
Add Maryland to that, I used to take Alcohol via containers off ship from Scotland and North West Europe to Seagrams downtown. We always had a little card to go with the likker in that thing. Same with more boxes of finished VO or something going out to the sea.
Most all states have what is called or similar to the title "Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division" of government. They are very pleased to take questions from anyone that needs clarification rather than to do enforcement against those that did not ask anything.Last edited by a moderator: Jan 31, 2019

I think New Jersey requires one too but not sure because I don't have permits here, for some reason jersey sticks into my mind.

Ya'll talking about hauling it in a tanker or running it like Smokey and the Bandit?
