    Same thing in Florida and the main reason why my truck and trailer were stolen..was waiting for my renewal to be processed.

    The IRP plate is easy enough. Just report it stolen to your state tag location and get a new one. If you live in Florida then that’s a 5 hour drive to Tallahassee for me and it will literally take all day because they’re…understaffed.
    Or wait three months for them to process it. Don’t even bother calling because you’ll spend a good part of a day on hold and getting hung up on, lol

    Stolen cargo (haven’t been through it yet) I imagine one just reports it to local law enforcement and insurance company like I did when my truck and trailer were stolen.

    Plate doesn't work that way here. Pay for the plate and you own it for the year. If you cancel it, you lost that money.
    Can transfer it and that is what was done. The original plate was stolen when mailed. Got toll tickets on it, can see the company name & truck#.

    Local won't take the reports(both we had)referred to feds, feds said the value wasn't high enough for their involvement. LOL

    Are they understaffed or inefficient? There’s a difference.

    Regardless, do you think cutting staff will improve the situation?

    What I see when I’m there is a lot of staff crammed in a small place trying to deal with a waiting area and hallway crammed with people needing help..

    Not really believing that eliminating employees is going to get them through the 3 month backlog of emails.

    What’s your guess?

    Florida doesn’t charge for replacement tag..we also have tag readers everywhere so stealing a tag isn’t too bright to begin with here.

    On my truck and trailer they removed the tags before they stole it.

    If your Florida International Registration Plan (IRP) plate is stolen, immediately report it to your local law enforcement agency and obtain a copy of the police report. Then, complete and submit Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) Form 85100, "Application to Replace Apportioned Plate," to the Bureau of Commercial Vehicle and Driver Services (BCVDS) in Tallahassee, along with the police report to receive a replacement at no charge.

    Cutting excess staff is not a problem… These agencies could be run leaner and more efficient got too much dead weight in them

    Had this been the other gang leader making the cuts I suspect you’d be hyperventilating over it “safety”

    Just as you’re silent on Texas handing out CDL’s to people that don’t speak English. They aren’t going to enforce ELP for interstate drivers either.

    You don’t want the laws enforced There’s certain people in society frankly that don’t want laws enforced because it obviously hurts feelings.. either folks obey the law or those that don’t don’t need a license. Same goes for those people that are supporting the lawlessness.
