When I started my business I applied and was approved for two NC Transporter Plates, these are the light green metal plates similar to what dealers use. I have the opportunity to use them on a couple of occasions to help a local dealer move some light trailers to customers. I know they have a purpose and are helpful I also know from other forum members not easy to always get approved for because insurance companies won't usually allow them because they don't know the type of units they are being used for each time.
They don't cost much $18.00 per plate and they renew each year at the same rate. I am thinking of getting into moving RV trailers maybe boats for some local dealers. I know Manheim used to have a drive-away program but they don't anymore. I got them because the drive-away loads were popular and acceptable at one time but not sure anymore. Is it worth keeping them because I know some companies will give drivers temp transporter tags for a trip, I just thought I could charge a bit more if I used my own.
Curious on all your thoughts and if anyone knows other valuable uses I could get from them please let me know
Thanks Have a great day everyone
Wonder if I should keep my Transporter Plates

With the costs being as cheap as they were. Why not keep them.
You might get that one call on a Sat. or Sun. to move a unit.. Bamm you can and not have to wait until Monday to move the unit.
That's just my thoughts on it..Ryan S2016 Thanks this. -
