I need some advice on my current situation as a intrastate (NY base tractor plate ) registered dot number. I am having serious issues with NY state DOT writing my trucks (prior to the occurrence) in Owego,NY. My drivers and I are receiving violations for not being registered as an intrerstate carrier, no ifta, and no apportioned plates. This is due to a small section of I -86 crossing into PA FOR LESS THEN 1 MILE. DOT is writing these violations 30 miles prior to the occurrence . Also these miles are taxed as NY miles on IFTA, the road is maintained by NY State and my New York State Overweight permit is valid on this stretch of road. I have actually had violations written 70 miles prior to crossing Waverly,NY . Not to mention this have never been an issue 10+ years of being in business . What can be done ?

You will be made to stay on NY state hy. and have more tic. but for a diff. charge?
-
That is ridiculous man...

They know they've got you, because the streets in Waverly are restricted to (I think) 5 ton weight limit, except for 17C to Cayuta. So, unless you're going to the auto auction place in Waverly itself, or up NY-34, you will in fact be crossing a state boundary without the proper authority. The PA portion begins just after the ramps for exit 61.
There isn't a good way around this section, without either being apportioned for PA and being an interstate carrier, or going a long way around north (96-34-224-223-13 should be ok if your truck is on the small side, or a pickup/gooseneck). -
There isn't much you can do. Your most likely going to keep getting the tickets. Might be worth thinking about switching to an interstate carrier.

This same stretch of road was New York State route 17 before being switched to I-86. Nothing changed just the name . I spoke with a local dot officer who told me they can't write the violation prior to it occurring. I thought there was some law that allowed tractor plates x amount of miles into neighboring states ?

Would like to stay intrastate to avoid log books

If you are under 100 miles, and less than 12 hours state lines don't matter.
Of course if you are running under an intrastate exemption (usually ag) you might have an issue...LoneCowboy Thanks this. -
This is what your state representitives are for. Start talking to their staff, get a lawyer.
