Alcoholic beverage transportation

Carriers engaged in the transportation of alcoholic beverages are subject in many states to requirements in addition to the normal permits for operating authority, vehicle registration (IRP) and fuel use (IFTA).

No federal regulations address transportation of alcoholic beverages; requirements are determined by each state.

Alcoholic beverage transporter is defined as any motor carrier engaging in delivery only to licensed wholesalers or manufacturers, Liquor Commissions, or Alcoholic Control Boards.

State permits are required depending upon the type of travel (interstate, intrastate) and the type of beverages being transported (spirituous liquors, beer, wine). Some jurisdictions also have requirements for bonds and reports.
