I would just bring a plate from another trailer, slap it on the back and roll. License it when you get home.
No one checks trailer plates!

Have done this on a grain trailer for couple harvests yet... old man either forgets or doesnt get grain trailer tag by combines rolling so have to run a different tag on it for awhile lol. Hell the one time it was even a car trailer on it.... but that was for local stuff. Illinois to Washington is a drive.. i would go straight there doing this lol.

A temp tag from who? Illinois?

If you got it at a dealer, they can probably get you one.

Yeah, all the dealer can give me is the driveaway temp tag. It looks like I'll be overnighting the paperwork to a licensing office in Washington so they can overnight it back to me. I just thought there would have been a much easier way, lol. I guess nothing is easy when it comes to commercial vehicles.

Just drive at night and avoid Wyoming. And Utah.

As long as you've got your insurance spot on I would probably just roll the dice. I can count on one hand how many times ive been pulled in for inspection and its always been during business hours.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't want to register the trailer in Maine.

Unless you have your own authority or leased on you can't haul anything. No broker is going to give you a load without either of those two in place.
