What exemptions are available for Missouri intrastate drivers?
MoDOT may issue SPE Certificates to applicants who do not meet certain physical qualifications prescribed by law for drivers of commercial motor vehicles, but only if those individuals meet alternate standards, which satisfy MoDOT that the driver-applicant can safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. MoDOT can only issue SPE Certificates to applicants who are not physically qualified because of limb amputation, limb impairment, vision impairment, or insulin-treated diabetes mellitus. If a person is not physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle for any other cause or reason, MoDOT cannot issue that person a SPE Certificate.
