    hello to all im hoping to get some answers I am wanting to license my truck and trailer I bought to haul my personal equipment I am doing some work on my property I have some heavy equipment Excavator, big wheel loader and backhoe I am not going to be for hire at this point in time maybe some day far in the future I have a current cdl and med card I haven't drove for hire for years, my question is should I license as a farm truck ? im wondering because I have had to hire someone to move equipment or I have bought equipment out of state and had to pay to get it hauled , I have a tractor and mechanical detach 50 ton lowboy trailer.. im pretty sure im limited on miles with farm plates ? I think there is a 100 mile radius with farm plates is this true ? I contacted my local troop c highway patrol and they told me I could license up to 80,000 can I get some help on how to license and insure my truck and trailer ? thank you in advance

    I am looking at similar problem. One issue is going out of state. If you will be going out of state much you might decide you need apportioned plates and an IFTA card. Call the port of entry for the states you might be going to and ask what permits you will need if you show up with farm plates and cost. It's all about who gets the fuel tax.

    In Arkansas there isn't a millage limit. Anything over a hundred miles you must have a log book. Fuel and trip permits were available if out of state. We still have to have the 750k minimum liability. Also if less than 7500 miles a year no 2290 Missouri may be different can't say
