Temp plate help

If you have the paper IRP temp from your state just read the date that temp. will expir. and be sure to P/U plate before that date when it is mailed to you.

 

Also tape a copy to the right windshield. The DOT knows what is, and if you don't, they won't know you're registered.

I have a friend who started at the same time as I with the carrier. He was a new o/o, and thought he would get in trouble having something in his window. He got inspected, and terminated because he got 75 csa points. I, on the other hand have driven cross country several times under temp, but never hassled because it was visible.

 

That's why you get the temp plates, is to go to work right away.

 

The temp plate from the dealer is a NO. A temp plate from Irp is yes.

 

A temp plate from the dealer is just to get the truck home, not for work. Some states issue temporary IRP tags, but that would be issued by the motor carrier office. If it doesn't list all the states with 80,000 pounds next to them, you can't use it for work.

 

Yeah, here in Miss they used to issue temporary plates, even fax them to you. They have stopped doing that now. You have to do it by mail, or drive into Jackson to the main IRP office and get it in person same day.

 

I just bought a used tractor and I have physical and bobtail with temporary tag. Can I legally pull an empty trailer one way bout 400miles?
