Transferring plates to different state

Find another company, they can't make you take a plate from another state. And I would never have a truck leased to a company that tells me I need a plate from their state.

This is stupid by the way, not you but these companies that make these stupid demands. You are a contractor to that company leased under the fmcsa regulations and part of those regulations allow plates from other states on trucks that are leased to the carrier.

Oh another bit of advice, ask for their lease contract to be sent to you. By regulations they are to send it to you, if they don't find another company.

 

Come work in company i work for.We dont need to change you plates.Even we can give you free plates

 

I wouldn't agree to take plates of company Im leased to. As mentioned above, I would rather look for different company, then get attached to specific company.

 

Are you sure they are not requiring you to use their plate, (buy a plate through them)which would be from MN? Some companies do that, Mercer comes to mind. I don't see how they can require you to get a MN plate on your own, I don't think that is going to happen if you don't live in MN.

 

Nothing in this world is free. If a carrier is handing out 'free' plates then they are making money is the truck in other ways, most likely with some crap pay per mile contact. Pay the truck 1.3 a mile while charging the customer 3.50.

 

Mercer does not require you to get a plate from them. You can get your own plate and ifta of you so choose.

 

We never do that if we get 3,50 a mile you get 3,5 is that simple.
