Nope. Believe me I tried. You have to have your own MC number to get them to accept your title application without paying sales tax. Then you have to have liability coverage and IRP in you own company name before they will release the title.

I applied for and got an MC number and gave it to them. They issued a new Georgia title, but held it pending IRP registration. When they saw it was a Landstar cab card and license plates I had to go back and pay the sales tax before they would release the title. My finance company was getting antsy about the title in the meantime too.

That's kinda the trouble with trucking. And little shortcut or dodge you can think of has already been tried by someone else and they're ready for it.

I’ve used the exemption in Mi. When Leased in the past. Using the Mc I was leased to.Seems they should honor the Lease agreement, but every States different. The reason Mi. adopted the policy 20 + yrs ago, is because of Truck and equipment sales being lost to Indiana and others.Applied to parts also

You got screwed, if you were under a lease contract, you are entitled to that exemption. The states that have the exemption have to recognize a lease contract under another authority.

The reason for the exemption goes back to rail road days where companies had to pay taxes on their cars by one state so they would find a friendly state that would not tax them. The Feds got involved and told the states they can't charge taxes. This also happens with aircraft now, you purchase an aircraft for commercial purposes and used in interstate commerce, then it is exempt from use or sales tax.

Your lease contract is all that is needed to present to the dmv, nothing else.

I have had issues with my sos (Michigan's DMV) on a lot of issues, those girls behind the counter are dumber than bricks and robots who refuse to think. I had to get a title for a 1966 Cadillac, I had the inspection report from my cop shop, I had the bill of sale from Vermont and pictures of the car. The ***** behind the counter said I can not get a title for the car in the state without the title from Vermont. It took me a week going to nine different places to find some one who would open the book to see what the process is for an out of state vehicle with a bill of sale.

So did you get a bonded Title or a reg Mi Title? I run into this all the time. Alabama, and others don’t require Titles after certain amount of yrs. Most are long gone.
