Indiana tags on many trucks?

I've got one of the Maine plated trailers now. I'll have to check.

 

Indiana does not charge sales tax on all commercial transportation equipment. All maintenance is tax free to if you have a tax exempt number.

 

I wonder how much that adds to the cost of the registration.

 

I’m about a week away from taking the first step on starting my company with one truck and trailer, I’m trying to find out how and why or if I should get registered in one of these states ...
Coming out of Nc...
Any information will help

 

I've run Maine tags on every trailer I've ever owned,in 42 years,never ever an issue. Retired from trucking,but still have them on my car trailer,utility trailer and my gooseneck. Huge business in Maine,and they are grateful for all the revenue it brings into the state. Multi year tag,reasonable price,very simple to do,and you can buy any amount of years you want,and the best part,no sales tax. If you want to do it,google Staab Agency Maine Tags. Great people to work with,tags next day if you want.

 

Tennessee is another state with a semi permanent plate a lot of container chassis have them.
Cali had a semi-permanent tag, lot's of them on Matlack's tanks back in the day.

All my Penske stuff has Indiana

 

I have a Indiana trailer plate and even though it's a permanent plate you still have to pay yearly. And it's not done by mail you have to actually go in person to the BMV.

 

That would be a pita. Maine,if you want 10 years,buy it,comes ready stamped,9 3/4 years later they'll send you a renewal notice. Can't be any easier.
