Not all licensees can deliver alcohol in Pennsylvania. However, a transporter-for-hire license allows a company to transport alcohol throughout Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are\u00a0three types<\/a>\u00a0of transporter-for-hire licenses. Class A permits the licensee to transport liquor\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0malt or brewed beverages to customers. Class B permits transportation of\u00a0only<\/em>\u00a0malt or brewed beverages. Class C is limited to commercial transportation of liquor parcels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Several important\u00a0rules<\/a>\u00a0govern these licenses:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
    \n
  1. The sale must be fully completed at the licensed premises from which the transporter picks up, and payment may not be accepted at the time of delivery.<\/li>\n
  2. Multiple orders may be delivered to one customer, but the quantity is limited by the type of licensee that sells the alcoholic beverages. For example, a pizza place with an R (restaurant) license can only sell up to 192 fluid ounces of alcohol, but if two orders are separated for a husband and wife, the delivery can be double.<\/li>\n
  3. Transporter-for-hire licensees may transport only alcohol that they do\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0own. They cannot transport alcoholic products they own. For the pizza place example, the customer owns the 6 pack of beer when they pay over the phone or on-line. Cash or payment on delivery is not permitted.<\/li>\n
  4. Delivery must occur in an approved \u201cvehicle\u201d that bears the licensee\u2019s name, address, and transporters\u2019 license\u00a0number. Magnetic signs are permitted.<\/li>\n
  5. At time of delivery, the customer must provide age identification, and the transporter must record the age verification.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    \u201cVehicle\u201d is\u00a0defined as<\/a>\u00a0\u201c[t]rucks, buses, cars, wagons, scooters, motorcycles, aircraft, watercraft or other means of transportation.\u201d The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (\u201cPLCB\u201d) interprets \u201cother means of transportation\u201d to include hand-powered or non-motorized devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Interestingly, in a\u00a0recent advisory opinion<\/a>, the PLCB found shopping carts are a permissible vehicle in which to transport alcohol. Previously, the PLCB found bicycles to be a permissible vehicle for\u00a0brewery<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0distributor<\/a>\u00a0licensees to deliver their products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    This recent advisory opinion shows the PLCB expansively interprets \u201cother means of transportation\u201d to include various four-wheeled vehicles. However, it remains to be seen if the PLCB will extend this holding to include four-legged animals like donkeys!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
