    I'm an owner operator doing intermodal work for jb hunt. I received 2 citations today. No 2014 ifta sticker
    and expired registration. Jb is supposed to send them to us by mail. Never recieed them. JB pays all of the cost for plates and registration. I thought they would be monitoring the situation. And at least give m a heads up! They made it clear it's not they're problem. Was cited in Pa. Anybody have some advice?
    IFTA was $202. Expired registration $3488.00 OUCH!

    last year, the company i was with didn't get the trailer stickers till the end of febraury. trailer plates expired in december.

    no one said a word on the trailers.

    My advice is to reconsider your choice to operate illegally. Your truck is your responsibility.

    Oh in that case Bigman58 should be able to get his tickets rescinded and baha, ironpony and I are just talking crazy talk. If you operated illegally and got away with it then it must be ok.
    Let me look that up in the regs. Nope; nothing in there about it being ok to not be in compliance if no one says anything to you about it or because you got away with something before.

    Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania baby 3488$ for an expired registration sounds like a good deal to me, Welcome To The State Of The Independence.

    yep, we all got away with it, illegally. through all the scales. dragging all 40 trailers. as they all expired at the end of the year.

    sorry you can't find it in the regs. i'm just saying what happened. i have no idea on the story of why. but we never got hassled.
