Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule requires motor carriers and
				  railroad corporations to notify the division of changes of their names
				  (including fictitious names) and any change of address of their principal place
				  of business, prescribes the procedures for those changes, and requires
				  intrastate motor contract carriers of passengers or household goods to notify
				  the division of changes in the name or address of contracting shippers they are
				  authorized to serve under their contract carrier permits.
(1) A motor carrier's change of address from
				one (1) state to a different state and a motor carrier's change of name shall
				not be recognized by the division until approved by order of the division's
				administrative law judge. Until the carrier has filed with this division the
				request and documentation required under this rule, and until an order
				approving any motor carrier's change of address to a different state or motor
				carrier's change of name has been issued, the division may continue to mail or
				deliver any notices, orders and other correspondence to the carrier in the
				previous name and at the previous address as it appears on record with the
				division, and this mailing or delivery shall be valid as if no change of name
				or address had occurred.
(2) Motor
				carriers holding intrastate operating authority from this division shall file
				with the division, not later than five (5) days after a change of name
				(including any fictitious name) or change of address of their principal place
				of business becomes effective, a written request that the division record the
				carrier's change of name, change of address, or both. The request shall state
				the numbers of every certificate and permit issued to that carrier by the
				division and currently in force, including both active and suspended authority.
				The division shall not recognize or approve a change of name or change of
				address under this section until the carrier has complied with the following
				requirements:
(A) New certificates of
				insurance or surety bonds setting forth the carrier's new name and address
				shall be filed with and approved by the division, in accordance with
				4 CSR
				265-10.030;
(B) If the change involves any change of name
				by a corporation, limited liability partnership or any change of fictitious
				name of any person holding intrastate operating authority, notice of the change
				of name or change of fictitious name shall be filed with the Missouri secretary
				of state, as otherwise required by law; and
(C) If the carrier becomes a nonresident as a
				result of a change of address and the carrier does not maintain an office or
				agent in this state, it shall file with the division a writing which designates
				the director of this division as the carrier's authorized agent upon whom legal
				service may be had in all actions arising in this state from any operation of a
				motor vehicle under authority of any certificate or permit issued to the
				carrier.
