    Can you still run with the 'bingo card' system? I'd like to only license for 2, possibly 4 states, but do not want to deal with apportionment. I thought that bingo cards were extinct until I saw one the other day.

    Wow-there's a term I haven't hear in a while! Not sure it's called that(or offically ever was LOL) but anyway--not sure how it would work--but I do see some delivery trucks(especially at philly mkt) baseplated in PA w/NJ fuel sticker on doors--the pa base are apportioned tags though--(so I'm guessing it is cheaper for them to just buy the jersy fuel sticker)Wish I could tell you more-other than I have seen it--I see you are from Wy--and guessing u just run(or want to)couple of nearby states?

    Where did you see a bingo card? A bingo card was carries in your permit book. Are you thinking of a waffle plate? These were plates divided into little squares where you attached the stickers from the various states. In any event they are no longer used.

    Unrelated but I have pictures of my old trucks with 11 plates and 8 decals from various states.

    Just license your apportionment plate for the two or four states you want. If you need to add states later just call and have them added and they e-mail or fax you a new cab card, its that easy.

    Yes, I have evidentley been reffering to a 'waffle plate' as a 'bingo card' my whole life I just learned.
