How many plates required?

He is full of it, your only required to display your front license plate on a tractor, if it's a straight truck you need two, Like a dump truck for example.

 

That is true for apportioned plates. Local plates you need both

 

Depends on state. Here in WA you are required to have two. If you are bobtailing and don't have rear plate displayed its a ticket.

 

Ah my state, IL doesn't even issue 2 plates. I'm running OH IRP plates now and they only issue 1 plate. Heck, I don't even have a rear license plate holder/bracket.

 

NY state issues 2 for each apportioned tractor.

 

If the truck is plated in NJ front and rear required. If not it should be easy to have ticket tossed.

 

One for your home ternimal State and that's pretty much it.

Unless.... you go to Oregon, now you need a red plate issued by them. That is one thing for example. I don't want to say anything more to confuse anyone.

 

i your home state issues two plates both must be displayed if you are only issued one only one is required to be displayed regardless of what state you are currently in.

 

PA issues only one plate and they don't get bothered in NJ.

My fleet is leased form Penske through a NJ location and we are located in NJ but he tractors all have one Indiana plate on the front. No problems with the local cops or the state troopers.
