Pulling loads with a 45 day temporary plate from the dealer.

IRP usually will fax a temp, for windshield. Ifta, a copy of License should be in the Truck, at least, till you get the stickers.

 

1st time getting plates IRP, at least in IL, does not issue a temp. After 1st yr and you are renewing then they will issue a temp. Idk if other states are like this too but Illinois is as I jjst went thru it last month.

As for running loads with a dealer temp tag, I asked a IL State Policeman, who in turn called his " DOT buddy" and they said run it dont worry about it with everything going on. I've been running the last 3 wks with dealer tags and have been pulled onto several scales and not a word has been said

 

What about proof you’ve applied? Maybe a copy of applications or ? just in case, shows good will. Has to be a Legal way, since so many Trucks get swapped daily.

 

Yes I do have all my paperwork in the truck with me from the licensing company that did my IRP for me, and a receipt showing my stuff had been approved. Figured better to be safe than sorry if I ran into a DOT guy wanting to be a dick.

 

I would haul freight. Blame it on Covid, everybody else does.

 

A couple years ago the company I was working for bought 2 brand new sister trucks and we ran them on temp tags for I swear 3 months. lol. Cops are being defunded...(sarcasm)...run it!
