Here in az the highway patrol doesn't care what your registration says, they look at the door tag and what tag is on your trailer.my trailer is rated for 25,900 and that with my truck combined is class a cdl, in this state it doesn't matter is it's private or for hire, you will get the right dl for what equipment you have, bunch of hard a sses around here. Ive submitted photos to stock only a few times since. If you do intend to overload your truck (beyond GVWR) or trailer, it's probably better to over-plate it as well. Vehicles not driven for hire do not need to weigh so it's basically impossible to get caught even if you are overloaded. I don't need to load it that heavy, so I don't need to pay all that money for those plates. My trailer has a 14k gvwr but I have never plated it for more than 8k. Many people do just that and never get caught. It weighs about 7200 so I could put an 8k plate on it if IN offered one and I didn't intend to load it at all. When it was registered in Illinois, it had 12k lb plates on it because Illinois offers only 8k or 12k (and up from there). My truck has 10,000 lb plates on it because Indiana only offers 7k or 10k.
Your truck does not need to be plated for its full GVWR if you don't intend to load it like that. My experience is that plates will cost based on how much weight you want, and above a certain weight, the trailer will need to be inspected. Most states will not allow you to register a state for zero. Don't know if they do that down in LA but could that possibly be what your are looking at on your registration? The "weight" block is meant to be like an empty weight or curb weight, while the "GVWR" block is just that. You would then register the trailer at 0000lbs gvwr.Īnother thought, MD doesn't do this but VA actually lists "weight" and "GVWR" on thier registrations. Do as you said, register the truck for the full GCVWR of the truck and trailer. When used in combination the two registered weights add up to give your your registered gross combined weight rating.Ģ.
Register your truck for it's gross vehicle weight rating, and register your trailer for it's gross vehicle weight rating. You could be registering a Ranger or a F350 and MD will list the GVW as 7,000lbs, unless you tell them what you want.įirst let me say I am not familiar with LA so this is just from what I know from MD and surrounding states.ġ. clearly isn't enough, MD does the same stupid stuff.
His sense of humor is evident in his comments and I find him very supportive. It all is great stuff I look forward to his new posts each and every day.
