Bill of lading to accompany transported alcoholic liquors
When someone transports more than 100 gallons of alcohol into, within, or through Missouri, the shipment must have a paper called a bill of lading traveling with it at all times. This paper must show exactly what alcohol is being carried, who sent it, who is receiving it, and what route the vehicle will take — and the driver must stick to that route. If a police officer or state liquor official asks to see the paper, it must be shown to them. The person listed as the sender must be the real sender and must have the legal right to ship alcohol, and the person listed as the receiver must be the real receiver, must have agreed in writing to accept the shipment, and must have the legal right to receive alcohol at that destination.
