PLATING REQUIREMENTS (Commercial vs. Passenger)
Disclaimer: This plating guide is for your analysis when deciding on a plate type (Commercial
vs. Passenger Plates). This document is for informational purposes only. GEFS does not advise
on how to plate the lessee‘s vehicles. Although we aim to keep it up-to-date, we do not
guarantee its accuracy. Similarly, while we try to make this site as useful and practical as
possible, the material it contains is not legal or tax advice, nor a substitute for it, and must not
be relied on as such.

Plating should go by usage, configuration, weight, parking restrictions, and commercial
advertising of a vehicle and is determined by the lessee.

Local commercial license plate requirements vary from state or local jurisdictions. Please click
on the below links for information about plating requirements.

Operational Definition:

 Curb Weight: The weight of a motor vehicle with all permanently mounted equipment and
maximum capacity of engine fuel, oil and coolant. Same as Tare Weight.
 Payload: The weight of the commodity being hauled. Payload capacity is computed by
subtracting the completed weight of the vehicle (including driver and passengers) from the
GVWR.
 GVWR: Abbreviation for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The maximum total vehicle weight,
measured at the tire-ground interfaces, for which the vehicle possesses components
adequately rated to safely carry. It cannot exceed the sum of all GAWRs.
 GCWR: Abbreviation for Gross Combination Weight Rating. Represents the entire weight of a
vehicle at the ground with a trailer or trailers including vehicle, equipment, driver, fuel, and
payload (everything that moves with the vehicle.)
 GAWR: Abbreviation for Gross Axle Weight Rating. The value specified by the vehicle
manufacturer as the load-carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-
ground interfaces.

Weight does not determine commercial vs. passenger if over 10,000 lbs. These will have ‗X‘ or ‗F‘ on the plate. All trucks would
receive truck plates. Cars, passenger vans, and SUVs would receive passenger plates.

Alabama requires the driver and vehicle to come in person to receive plates/registration and complete a VIN inspection.

Automobiles, motorcycles, utility trailers, travel trailers and trucks with gross weights of 26,000 pounds or less are registered through
county officials. Trucks and truck tractors with gross weights exceeding 26,000 pounds that operate to points without the State of
Alabama are registered through the Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division, International Registration Section, in
Montgomery (334-242-9000). Trucks and truck tractors that operate within Alabama are registered through county officials, as are all
semi trailers, except those semi trailers operated into California are registered under the International Registration Plan. Dealer
license plates and manufacturer license plates are obtained through the Revenue Department's Taxpayer Service Centers located
throughout Alabama.

 Permanent Trailer Information
Under state law, commercial trailers with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) greater than 10,000 lbs. are required to be permanently
registered. By renewing this one last time, you'll never pay registration fee or vehicle license tax again for this trailer. A "PERM" tab
and/or plate will be provided to replace the expiration tabs on your license plate. If you have a special plate on your trailer, you will
continue to receive a renewal notice for the special plate fee.

 Registration Fees:
(1) Passenger Vehicles - $23.00 ($15.00 penalty fee if not registered within 20 days from date of purchase along with
interest on Ad Valorum tax)
(2) Commercial Vehicles

All vehicles that are registered in a business name must show a commercial class code. Also, all leased vehicles will have a
commercial class code. Commercial and passenger plates are the same. The class code on the registration will determine if the
vehicle is commercial or not. SUVs are considered passenger vehicles. No weight certificates are required for these vehicles.

 Commercial Vehicles & Heavy Use Tax
A commercial vehicle is defined as a vehicle used in a business for the purpose of transporting persons, goods, or property, in
addition to any vehicle with an unladen weight over 10,000 pounds. Registration fees are primarily based on the unladen weight of the
vehicle and are valid for two years. The unladen weight must be provided at the time of registration. Commercial or leased are in the
same category. Commercial vehicles used for interstate transportation and registered in a jurisdiction other than Alaska may obtain
dual registration in Alaska.
Commercial vehicles may be subject to a heavy vehicle use tax. The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 passed by the
US Congress levies a tax on certain heavy trucks. The tax itself is paid to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and filing of the tax is
done on IRS Form 2290. This is a federal tax and the State has no part in levying or collecting the tax. However, the State must see
proof, in the form of a validated copy of Schedule 1, IRS Form 2290 prior to registering a vehicle subject to the tax.
Vehicles subject to the tax are vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lbs. or more. The IRS defines taxable gross weight as
Disclaimer: This document is for informational purposes only. GEFS does not advise on how to plate the
lessee‘s vehicles. Plating should go by use of vehicle and is determined by the lessee. v. 6-4-10
the sum of:

 the unladen weight of the vehicle
 the unladen weight of any trailers or semi- trailers customarily used in combination with the vehicle
 the maximum load carried on the vehicle and on any trailers or semi-trailers customarily used in combination with the vehicle.

If the taxable gross weight as defined above is less then 55,000 lbs., a heavy vehicle use tax declaration form must be submitted to
remove the requirement.
There are several exceptions to the filing of IRS Form 2290. If the applicant provides proof that the vehicle was purchased within the
past 60 days, then proof of payment is not required. To determine other exceptions, please contact a local IRS Office.
Please see the FEES page for information on current registration fees.
NOTE: Any vehicle that is in a business/company name is considered a commercial vehicle for registration fee purposes. As Leased
vehicles are owned by a business/company, they are automatically considered commercial vehicles for purposes of biennial fees.
This includes vehicles that would normally be considered passenger vehicles.

 Registrations Fees: Biennial
(1) Passenger Vehicles - $68.00
(2) Pickup Trucks and Vans (non commercial) - $78.00 (not exceeding 10,000 lbs unladen)

 Commercial Driver License
1) What type of CDL do I need?

To determine if a CDL is required, the manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicles must be determined.

 Class A CDL – Required to operate a combination vehicle (truck and trailer) if the GVWR of the trailer is 10,001 pounds or
more, and when added to the GVWR of the power unit (truck), the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) is over 26,001
pounds.
 Class B CDL – Required to operate any vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pound or more. A trailer may be towed if the GVWR
of the trailer is 10,000 pounds or less.
 Class C CDL – Required to operate any vehicle with a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less, if the vehicle is required to be
placarded to transport Hazardous Materials or transports 16 or more passengers, including the driver.

2) What do I do first to apply for a CDL Instruction Permit?

The first thing is to obtain a CDL Manual from any MVD office. All of the study material is in the manual. You will also need to have a
physical examination, which can be given by any licensed physician. If your doctor does not have the DOT Physical Examination
form, a blank form can also be obtained at any MVD office. After having the physical examination, you may then go into any MVD
office for the written examinations (see #3 below).
ng the written examinations, an instructional permit is issued for you to learn how to drive a commercial motor vehicle. This permit is
good for six months. You will be required to take a road test in the type of vehicle representative of the class of license for which you
are applying.
Your social security number will be verified at the time of application for the instruction permit.

3) When I apply for an Arizona CDL instruction permit, what must I bring with me?

 Proof of having held a driver license for at least one year. (Proof may be a current driver license or a motor vehicle report from
another state.)
 An Arizona driver license (If coming from out of state, a 5-year, limited Arizona driver license must be issued at the time of
application and the out of state license cancelled.)
 Correctly completed physical examination form (DOT Long Form) (Instructions for completion are on the back of the form.)

4) What are the fees for an original CDL?

 $25.00 for a Class A or B
 $12.50 for a Class C
 $10.00 for each endorsement you may require. Please see the HazMat Background Check FAQs for additional fees.
 $7.00 for a motorcycle endorsement

MVD does not provide vehicles. If you do not have access to a vehicle, contact MVD‘s Third Party Program at (602) 712-7173 for a
list of contract agents authorized to give the road test using their vehicle.

6) Do I have to take the HAZMAT test every three years?

No. The three-year testing requirement is a federal regulation for employers transporting HazMat to test their drivers every three
years.
The Arizona HazMat test is required only when applying for an original CDL, when adding the ―H‖ endorsement to an existing CDL;
when renewing a CDL; or when transferring an out of state CDL to Arizona and you wish to retain the ―H‖ endorsement. (Please see
the HazMat Background Check FAQs for additional information.)

7) What is needed to renew a CDL?

Pay a renewal fee of $15.00 for a Class A or Class B or $10.00 for a Class C. If you have an ―H‖ endorsement and wish to keep it, the
HazMat written test must be retaken. There is an additional fee of $10.00 for this test. In addition to the written test, the Transportation
Security Administration must notify MVD that you have successfully completed your Background Records Check (Threat
Assessment). (Please see the HazMat Background Check FAQs for additional information.) Unless a new endorsement is added at
this time, no other test is required. A copy of a current DOT physical examination form must be submitted, and a vision-screening test
is administered at the MVD office.

8) If my CDL is medically suspended and revoked for more than one year, how do I apply for reinstatement?

Pay a reinstatement fee of $30.00 ($10.00 for the suspension and $20.00 for the revocation); $10.00 for a Limited Class D Operator
License; the cost of an original CDL instruction permit (A & B - $25.00; C - $12.50) plus $10.00 for each endorsement.
Take the appropriate CDL written tests.
A limited Class D operator license is issued and if the CDL written tests are passed, the appropriate class CDL instruction permit is
issued.
Skills tests are required for certain endorsements, see #9. If tested by the MVD the fee is $25.00 for a Class A or B skill test and
$12.50 for a Class C. Payment of this fee entitles you to three attempts to pass the CDL Skill Tests.
For reinstatement fees: Payment may be made by cash, cashier's check or money order. Some offices accept credit cards. Cash and
credit card not accepted by mail. No personal checks accepted.
A new HazMat (HME) background check will be required if the applicant is not reinstated within a year of a suspension or revocation.

9) When is a road test required?

A road/skills test is required:

 To apply for a CDL for the first time
 To apply to upgrade an existing CDL, such as going from a C to a B, or a B to an A
 To apply for an endorsement that requires a separate road/skills test such as in the case of a motorcycle, passenger vehicle
and/or school bus.
 To remove an L (air brake) restriction from an existing CDL
 When there is cause to believe an applicant is non-compliant with medical standards and requirements
 Where the driving privilege has been suspended, canceled or revoked for more than one year

However, a road/skills test may be required at anytime you apply for a license or endorsement.

10) What is the fee for road test? The fee for a road/skills test is:

All trucks get commercial plates unless it has a camper shell permanently attached to the bed. Vans and SUVs have a choice
between passenger and commercial.

Disabled/Handicapped plates submit Registration 195 Form (Doctor‘s Certification Disable Application), plus all regular required
documents.

Vehicles with a body type SW (station wagon) can be plated commercially if it is registered to a business, and is engaged in business,
and logos are not required for commercial registration of a station wagon.

Less than 10000 GVW requires passenger plates. Empty weight of vehicle does determine registration fees.

Commercial plates have 1 letter. Trailer plates have 2 letters. Automobile plates have 3 letters.

 Registrations Fees:
(1) Passenger Vehicles - $36.00 + 2% Vehicle License Tax on Purchase Price + if transferred from another state, a $10
service fee (Vanity plates are an additional $5.00)
Note: Includes pick up trucks if a camper shell has been permanently attached
(2) Commercial Vehicles - Same as above plus weight fees (Pickup trucks are considered
commercial vehicles, are subject to weight fees and are issued commercial license plates)

Note: Double Axle Vehicle Rates will Differ

The Commercial Vehicle Registration Act (CVRA) changed the way the Department of Motor Vehicles registers commercial motor
vehicles and some trailers.

Which vehicles are affected?

This law affects:

 Commercial motor vehicles with a declared gross vehicle weight (GVW) or combined gross vehicle weight (CGW) of 10,001
lbs. or more.
 Most trailers (for example, semi-trailers, boat trailers, utility trailers, or horse trailers.)

Which vehicles are NOT affected?
The following commercial motor vehicles are not affected:

 Pickups, even though a pickup can operate over 10,000 GVW.
 Light-weight trucks and vans if the declared GVW or CGW is 10,000 lbs. or less.
 Taxis and rental limousines (which include charter-party carriers operating limousines that pick up and deliver airport
passengers) if the declared GVW is 10,000 or less.

NOTE: Weight fees for the above vehicles (not including trailers) will continue to be based on the unladen weight.
Also excluded are:

For more information see "Trailers" below.

 Declared Operating Weight

What are GVW and CGW?

Declared gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the weight that equals the total unladen weight of the vehicle plus the heaviest load that
will be transported on the vehicle.

Declared combined gross vehicle weight (CGW) is the total unladen weight of the combination of vehicles (motor truck and trailer)
plus the heaviest load that will be transported by that combination.

If you tow a trailer or other vehicle, (e.g., a truck loaded with produce pulling a trailer loaded with bricks), it is important that you
declare the total, combined, gross operating weight of the combination of vehicles.

All commercial motor vehicle owners/lessees must declare the gross operating weight when:

 The vehicle is first registered.
 The vehicle is purchased (new or used).
 The operating weight changes. If the operating weight increases, complete a Declaration of Gross Vehicle Weight/Combined
Gross Vehicle Weight form (REG 4008). Additional CVRA fees will be collected for the remainder of the registration year or
partial registration year (PYR) period. If the operating weight decreases, the lower weight will be added to the vehicle record
and a new registration card will be issued. Refunds are not issued when the operating weight decreases.

NOTE: Owners may register commercial vehicles on a partial year basis. The operating weight does not have to be re-declared (on a
new declaration form) each time the partial year registration is requested (during the registration year) unless the operating weight
changes.

 Commercial Motor Vehicles

How do I report my GVW or CGW?

You must complete a declaration form and declare the GVW/CGW at which you will operate your vehicle with its heaviest load (see
definition of GVW/CGW above) so that your registration renewal notice will reflect the correct CVRA fee. (See CVRA Weight Range
Schedule.)

Your registration card will reflect the highest weight for the weight range. For example, if your vehicle operating weight is 42,000
GVW, your certificate will show 45,000 lbs. Whenever you receive a new registration card, make sure it shows the correct weight
range.

A declaration form is required for any original, commercial registration application submitted (first time being registered in California)
or upon transfer of vehicle ownership.

What is the declaration form?

The "Declaration of Gross Vehicle Weight/Combined Gross Vehicle Weight" form (REG 4008) contains information and instructions
for you to declare your vehicle's GVW/CGW.

Can I just use the GVW/CGW listed on my vehicle?

Yes, however, the GVW/CGW listed is the manufacturer's maximum weight at which the vehicle can safely operate. You must still
determine whether or not the vehicle will be operated at the maximum.

How do I report a change in the GVW/CGW?

You must complete a new declaration form whenever your declared GVW/CGW changes to a higher (or greater) weight range. If your
declared GVW/CGW increased after it was reported to DMV, an additional CVRA fee is due on the higher weight range for the
remainder of the registration year or if registered on a partial year registration (PYR) basis, for the period of registration requested.
The appropriate CVRA fees must be paid prior to operation of the vehicle at the higher weight.

If your declared GVW/CGW decreased after your vehicle was registered at the weight reported to DMV, a pro-rated refund of the
CVRA fee is not applicable.

NOTE: Weight violations in under-reporting can result in a substantial fine, up to $2,000 for operating over the declared gross weight
(Vehicle Code §42030.1).

My vehicle will not be operated at a weight of 10,001 lbs. or more GVW or CGW. Do I have to complete the declaration form?

You must complete, sign, and return the declaration form indicating your vehicle will not be operated at 10,001 lbs. or more
GVW/CGW. Once DMV receives this information, your vehicle will continue to be assessed fees based on the unladen weight. If you
fail to report the vehicle weight, you will be assessed the maximum CVRA fee plus vehicle license and registration fees.

New CVRA Weight Decals/CVRA Year Stickers

All CVRA registered vehicles with expiration dates of July 31, 2005, or later will be issued CVRA weight decals and CVRA year
stickers that are required to be displayed on both the right and left sides of the vehicle. The CVRA year stickers will correspond in
color with the regular auto, commercial, trailer, and motorcycle (ACTM) sticker color. The CVRA weight decals indicate the highest
GVW/CGW at which the vehicle may be operated. The CVRA weight decals and CVRA year stickers are issued in addition to
the regular year sticker for a fee.

EXCEPTION: Decals showing ―54‖ are valid for a vehicle operating up to 54,999 GVW/CGW.

The CVRA weight decals will be issued once with the CVRA year stickers. On subsequent renewals, only the CVRA year stickers will
be issued unless there is a vehicle weight change or duplicate CVRA weight decals are required.

Implements of Husbandry

If a truck subject to CVRA, owned and operated by a farmer or an employee, is used only for conducting agricultural business and in
that business it pulls (tows) an implement of husbandry or a vehicle with special equipment (SE) plates, the weight of the implement
of husbandry or the SE plated vehicle and its load do not have to be declared. The weight of the truck and any load it will carry,
except the implement of husbandry or SE plated vehicle, must be declared.

Tow Trucks

Tow trucks used to assist the motoring public or to tow or carry impounded vehicles are subject to CVRA fees. The tow truck's

 Fees for Commercial Vehicles

Trucks operated at a gross or a combined gross weight of 10,001 lbs. or more, will be assessed a CVRA fee in addition to other
registration fees (including but not limited to a CVRA Motor Vehicle fee and a CVRA CHP fee). Trucks operated at a gross weight of
10,000 lbs. or less will continue to be assessed a weight fee based on the truck's unladen (empty) weight.

The vehicle CVRA fee is based on the Commercial Vehicle Registration Act (CVRA) Range Schedule.

If drivers operate their vehicles over the registered owner's declared weight, the driver may be cited by law enforcement. If the vehicle
is operated over the declared weight, fines between $250 and $2,000 may be assessed (Vehicle Code §42030.1). Additional CVRA
fees would be required.

1. Q - Does the CVRA law affect all truck owners?

A - No. This law does not affect:

 Pickups, as defined, that weigh under 8,001 lbs. unladen.
 Lightweight trucks, vans, taxis, and rental limousines (including charter-party carriers operating limousines that pick up and
deliver airport passengers), if the vehicle's GVW is 10,000 pounds or less.
 Commercial motor vehicles registered with special equipment or exempt license plates.

2. Q - What do I do if I didn't receive a CVRA Weight Declaration Form?

A - Print the REG 4008, complete the form, and mail it to DMV at:

DMV CVRA Program
PO Box 932377
Sacramento, CA 94232-3770

3. Q - Can I declare an operating weight higher than my vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)?

A - Yes, but only if you are declaring the weight of your vehicle in combination with a towed vehicle and its load (the
Combined Gross Weight). NOTE: A declared Combined Gross Weight does not authorize a truck without another
vehicle in tow to exceed the truck's authorized axle weight limits.

4. Q - I own a dump truck and received a declaration form (REG 4008). Do I have to fill out the form?

A - Yes. If you have a commercial motor vehicle operating at a gross or combined gross weight of 10,001 pounds or
more, you must complete and return the form.

5. Q-Do I still have to pay license and registration fees?

A - Yes. Vehicle license and registration-related fees are still due on all commercial motor vehicles. The new CVRA
fee is in lieu of the weight fee.

6. Q - I received a declaration form, but I own a 4-door pickup. Do I have to complete the declaration form?

A - Yes, if your vehicle weighs over 8,000 lbs unladen. If your title shows the body type of "PK" or "PU," you need to
bring your title and pickup to your local DMV to correct the body type to other than a pickup.

You may make an appointment online to visit your local DMV office by clicking here.

7. Q - I have a pickup truck and sometimes tow a heavy trailer. I believe the over-all weight may be over 10,001 lbs. Should I
complete a declaration form?

A - No. Pickup trucks as defined, do not have to declare their operating weight regardless of how heavy the load or
combined vehicle weight.

8. Q - I own my own truck tractor and pull trailers owned by other companies. Do I have to declare the weight of the trailer?

A - Yes. You must declare the highest combined operating weight. The total gross weight of the combination of
vehicles (motor truck and towed vehicle) plus the heaviest load that will be transported by that combination.

9. Q - Did the Commercial Vehicle Registration Act (CVRA) eliminate the International Registration Plan (IRP) for commercial
motor vehicles?

10. Q - I have filed a planned non-operation (PNO) status with DMV for my truck. I just received a declaration form from DMV.
Should I complete the form now, or should I wait until I renew the vehicle registration?
A - There are no penalties for waiting until you register your vehicle. If you do not complete the form now, it is important to complete the declaration form
when you register your vehicle, or you will be assessed the highest gross/combined vehicle weight range fee, plus license and registration fees.

weight between 10,000 and 16,000 pounds that normally pull a trailer and the empty weight of the truck and trailer plus the maximum
loads the truck and trailer can haul exceeds 16,000 pounds. Motor vehicle equipped with a body, which is generally and commonly
used to carry and transport property over the public highways. The empty weight of the vehicle cannot exceed 16,000 pounds. This
plate can be used for tow trucks, wreckers, vehicles that transport racehorses and veterinary mobile truck with special fees assigned.
Plate can also be used for special use vehicles (trash compactors, concrete mixers, beverage carrying trucks and concrete pumpers).
Commercial Call Letter Plate is issued to passenger and light truck vehicles with an empty weight of less than 16,000 pounds.

Trucks would receive truck plates and cars as passenger plates. The State of Colorado does not issue commercial plates.

Denver County issues passenger plates on all vehicles less than 16,000 lbs (including vans, SUVs, and pickup trucks). Any vehicle
over 16,001 lbs would receive a truck plate.

Business vehicles using for transporting goods would receive truck plates. If the vehicle were a cargo van or pickup, they would
receive truck plates. Combo plates are NOT available. Truck plates can only be obtained for trucks, vans, SUVs. The advantage of
registering it as a truck plate, gives the right to park in certain loading areas. Trucks with GVW over 12,000 lbs. are considered Heavy
Trucks. All trucks and passenger vehicles have plate numbers starting with 3 letters followed by 3 numbers. Fees are determined by
whether the vehicle is more or less than 4,500 lbs. empty weight.

 Vehicles - International Registration Plan (IRP)

What is IRP?
IRP stands for the International Registration Plan. The Plan is a method of registering fleets of
vehicles that travel in two or more member jurisdictions. Fees are calculated according to the miles
that you travel in each jurisdiction and other variables. All fees are paid to your base jurisdiction,
which then distributes them to the other appropriate jurisdictions.

Disclaimer: This document is for informational purposes only. GEFS does not advise on how to plate the
lessee‘s vehicles. Plating should go by use of vehicle and is determined by the lessee. v. 6-4-10
Can you tell me what my license fee will be?
Generally we cannot tell you what your IRP license fees will be until we process your application and
generate an invoice. The fee calculation for each jurisdiction varies based on the laws of that
jurisdiction. The fee calculation for your vehicle may be based on gross weight, mileage, vehicle year
model, vehicle make, purchase price, your type of operation or other factors, depending on which
jurisdictions you request registration for. Our system will calculate the full vehicle registration fee for
each jurisdiction and will then determine the appropriate percentage of that fee to charge based on
the percentage of miles you travel in that jurisdiction. For example, if 25% of your miles are traveled
in Nebraska you will be charged 25% of the Nebraska registration fee that would be paid for a non-
IRP Nebraska registration. Because the fee calculations are so complex we cannot manually
calculate them. We can provide you with an estimate based on the full Kansas fee.

My vehicle weight is less than 26,001 pounds and I deliver to several locations within another
jurisdiction. Do I need IRP plates?
You will be required to get IRP plates or a temporary trip permit for the other jurisdictions if you are
doing intrastate movement within another jurisdiction regardless of the weight of your vehicle.
Intrastate movement means operation point to point within a jurisdiction.

Do I need a Kansas address to get IRP plates?
Yes, you must have an established place of business in Kansas to qualify for IRP registration in
Kansas. A physical street address is required rather than a post office box.

Do I need a Kansas title for my vehicle to get IRP plates?
No. We do accept out of state titles in your name and not assigned over on the back if you have a
current lease agreement and will be leasing to a Kansas carrier. If you purchase a vehicle and want
to register it in Kansas, a Kansas title will be required.

What is a base jurisdiction?
A base jurisdiction is where the registrant has an established place of business, where mileage is
accrued by the fleet and where operational records of that fleet are maintained or can be made
available. The established place of business should be a physical structure owned, leased or rented
by the fleet registrant and should be designated by a street number or road.

Can I make quarterly payments for my IRP license plates?
A Kansas based registrant has the option to pay the annual Kansas fleet apportioned registration fee
on a quarterly basis. Registrants who elect to pay registration fees on the quarterly payment basis are
issued new cab cards after payment of each quarter.

 The payment of the Kansas annual apportioned registration fee on a quarterly basis applies
only to the fee applicable to Kansas and only on a new account, renewal application, or
supplemental application adding vehicles before Mar 1 if payment is received.
 The amount of the Kansas annual fee shall exceed $300.
 The quarterly payment basis relates only to an alternate method of payment of the Kansas
annual fleet apportioned registration fee.
 The first quarterly payment of the Kansas annual apportioned registration fee, including
Kansas issuance fees, title fees and any supporting documents for registration plus all
apportioned registration fees due other IRP jurisdictions, shall be received on or before
March 1 of a registration year.

Failure to provide the foregoing requirements on or before March 1 of a registration year shall result
in the applicant being required to pay the Kansas annual fleet apportioned registration fee in full,
including any registration penalties.

The remaining Kansas annual fleet apportioned registration quarterly payments are due and payable
on or before: Second quarter due - April 1 Third quarter due - July 1 Fourth quarter due - October 1

It shall be unlawful to operate the fleet vehicles when payment is delinquent. If a fleet is detained
because of a delinquent quarterly installment, authorization for operation cannot be allowed until
Disclaimer: This document is for informational purposes only. GEFS does not advise on how to plate the
lessee‘s vehicles. Plating should go by use of vehicle and is determined by the lessee. v. 6-4-10
proper payment has been made and clearance provided.

No temporary wires are issued for a registrant who has expired registration. A billing notice is
provided 20 to 30 days prior to due date. Failure of a fleet owner to receive a billing notice shall not
waive or excuse the fleet owner from the payment.

Nonpayment of Quarterly fees
When a fleet owner is delinquent past the due date, a Notice of Lien shall be filed with the Register of
Deeds of the county in which the fleet is based. A copy of the Notice of Lien shall be provided the
fleet owner showing the amount due. The amount due covers the delinquent quarterly payment, any
remaining quarterly payments, and a penalty in the sum of ten percent of the original Kansas total
fleet annual apportioned registration fees. A stop title is filed with the Titles and Registrations Bureau
and the title cannot be issued to a new owner until the lien has been satisfied.

After a Notice of Lien has been recorded by a Register of Deeds, a Tax Warrant shall be issued to the
Sheriff of that county. The Sheriff shall seize and hold all property subject to the lien and advertise
and sell the property or an amount of the property to satisfy the state's lien.

When a registrant is delinquent more than ten days beyond the due date of any quarterly payment,
such registrant is denied the option to pay the annual Kansas apportioned registration fee in quarterly
payments for the next two registration years.

Can I get temporary IRP registration?
Yes. Once we receive all required paperwork we will issue a 45 day temporary to allow you time to
pay the supplement and get the credentials on the vehicle.

My vehicle was leased to a Kansas based carrier. I broke lease. How can I move my truck
without a license plate?
You may apply for a Hunter's Permit with form MCS-14.

If I have IRP license plates do I also need to apply for IFTA?
You must also register for IFTA and file motor fuel road tax reports on a quarterly basis if the vehicles
within your fleet:

 have two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight of more than
26,000 pounds; or
 have three or more axles regardless of weight; or
 are used in combination, when the combined weight is more than 26,000 pounds gross or
registered gross vehicle weight at any time.

The first commercial plate weight is 10,000 lbs. Truck plate fees are based on GVW. Commercial plates are issued at 26,000 lbs. for
tractor semi.

 Owners of trailers used with automobiles, pickups and vans weighing less than 6,000lbs must purchase a regular annual
trailer plate. There is no restriction on the weight carried by trailers licensed in this manner.
Vehicles licensed for gross weight (commercial and noncommercial) may tow any regularly licensed trailer as long as the weight of

MARYLAND
Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration: http://mva.state.md.us/
Registration Class Types: http://www.marylandmva.com/VehicleServ/REG/fees.htm

Registration fees are determined by class and weight. Less than 10,000 lbs. does not need a ‗DOT License‘ and heavy weight
determines truck or apportioned plate.

A vehicle in MD is considered commercial if over 6,000 lbs.

SUVs/VANS: Passenger vans & SUVs receive Class M plates (multi-purpose), which are similar to Class A plates. If a Cargo van has
seats permanently installed, it is eligible for Class M plates. An additional form is required to explain why the vehicle is requesting M
plates.

AUTO = Passenger plates class A

SUVs AND VANS = depends on type (IE: A cargo van that has windows all the way around would be ‗Multi-purpose‘, if no window
would be commercial) Pickups and Cargo vans would receive EPO plates. Fees are based on weight.

Tractor trucks receive Class F plates.

Dump Trucks receive Class D plates. Any truck 10,000 lbs. or higher GVW has restricted parking.

Trailers receive Trailer plates. If a trailer has a GVW of greater than 20,000 lbs., this trailer would receive as non-weighted plate. For
non-weighted trailer weights, you would register the truck that is pulling the trailer for both the GVW of the truck and the combined
weight of the truck‘s GVW and the Trailer‘s GVW. You have to declare both weights.

You can get passenger class plates for a light-duty pick-up truck that has an unladen weight of 5,500 lbs. or less.
See form MV-114 (Information For Pick-Up Truck Owners) to get more information.
The agency that controls a parkway decides if pick-up trucks with passenger class plates are allowed on the parkway. To make
sure you can drive your pick-up truck on a parkway, contact the agency that manages the parkway. Some parking regulations and
traffic regulations in New York City depend on the type of vehicle plates on your vehicle. Passenger class plates on your pick-up
truck can change how NYC regulations affect you. Contact New York City about their regulations.

on the door sticker), and
 does not have any business advertisements on the truck.
How to apply
You are not required to apply for passenger class plates for your pick-up truck. You can continue to use commercial plates on your
pick-up truck.
The unladen weight of your pick-up truck is stamped on a metal plate and located on the door of your vehicle. The unladen weight is
also listed on your title certificate. The unladen weight is different from the maximum gross weight (MGW) listed on your registration
documents. Before you apply, make sure that the unladen weight of the truck is 5,500 lbs. or less.
Passenger class plates on a pick-up truck do not change the MGW listed on the registration documents or the unladen weight listed
on the title certificate. Passenger class plates on a pick-up truck do not change the registration fees. The DMV requests the unladen
weight to verify that your pick-up truck is eligible for passenger class plates. The DMV does not change the unladen weight or the
MGW.

vehicle plate or vehicle plates. The DMV office will not accept a vehicle plate with a frame or any fasteners attached. The fee is
$16.00.
The registrant of a pick-up truck that is leased or rented must submit a form provided by the leasing company or owner of the pick-up
truck. The form must certify that the vehicle will not be used for commercial purposes.
The DMV office will issue new registration documents and standard passenger plates with anew number. If you had custom plates or
personalized plates, your new registration documents will list the numbers from your custom plates or personalized plates and the
standard series plates. The DMV will send new passenger custom or personalized plates by mail.
If your registration will expire in less than 60 days, you can renew your registration at a DMV office and change to passenger class
plates when you renew.
You can also get passenger plates with no additional fee when you register a pick-up truck for the first time.
Pick-up trucks that weigh more than 5,500 pounds:
If you have a pick-up truck that has an unladen weight of 5,501 lbs. or more, you cannot apply for passenger class plates through
the process described above. You must modify the truck to qualify for a passenger class registration and passenger class plates.

Effective 1-1-2006, bill 998 increased the weight at which T-plated (trucks), CN – plated (charitable/non-profit, and PF plated
(permanent fleet) vehicles must register by weight from 8,001 to 10,001 lbs. This also includes B-plated buses registered for private
use. (This bill does not apply to truck-tractors or commercial buses.) Any of these vehicles with combined weight of 10,000 lbs. or
less, may apply for passenger registration. The bill also raises the weight up to which a person may apply for Ex-POW plates from
8,000 to 10,000 lbs. and revises the domicile statute to bring it in line with the weight increase to 10,000 lbs. This bill allows trucks,

PENNSYLVANIA
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/

PA does not classify vehicles as ―commercial‖. They have ―passenger‖ and ―truck‖ plates. All trucks receive truck plates and cars
receive passenger plates. A working van is required to have ―truck‖ plates if it has windows all around and no rear seat. Vans/SUVs
can receive either truck or passenger depending on the body type shown on the MSO or title application. If the title application shows
body type as truck and there is a GVW on the application, the DMV will issue truck plates. If the body type is a station wagon on the
MSO or title application and there is not a GVW listed, the DMV will issue passenger plates. Titles for SUVs usually show a body type
of station wagon, which will receive passenger plates. A truck with a truck-bed requires ―truck‖ plates. Vehicles must have a GVW of
10,001 lbs. or greater in order to receive permanent plates. Tow trucks have just one type of plate and a flat rate of $36.00 per year.
Vehicle with GVW over 16,000 lbs. would receive commercial plates.

SOUTH DAKOTA
http://www.dmv.org/sd-south-dakota/dmv-commercial-license.php
http://www.state.sd.us/dps/dl/Online_Manuals/CDL.asp

Trucks and Vans can obtain passenger plates as long as the GVW is less than 6,000 lbs. Cars and SUVs receive passenger
plates. If a vehicle is being used for a business, it would receive commercial plates.

Noncommercial pickup weight greater than 6000 lbs. Lessee can choose fee chart (noncommercial or noncommercial gross
weight fee schedule). Pickup truck and box removed and replaced and greater 6000 lbs. would equal truck license noncommercial
motor vehicle.

Need to pay a license fee that's based upon the weight of your car. If your car weighs less than 10,000 pounds, you'll use this
schedule. However, if you have a non-commercial, light pick-up truck that weighs between 6,000-10,000 pounds, you also have
the option of paying under the commercial gross-weight vehicle schedule.

Owners of trailers used with automobiles, pickups and vans weighing less than 6,000 lbs. must purchase a regular annual trailer
plate. There is no restriction on the weight carried by trailers licensed in this manner.

Vehicles licensed for gross weight (commercial and noncommercial) may tow any regularly licensed trailer as long as the weight of
the trailer plus its load is included in the gross weight license of the towing vehicle.

For trailers exempt from licensing (see Trailers Exempt from Licensing), the weight of the trailer and the load being hauled is not
included in determining the declared gross weight of the vehicle.

An application must be completed and filed in the county of the applicant's residence. The application must be filed in the county of
the new applicant's residence. The application must be signed by the record owner(s) or by an authorized agent for the record
owner(s). If the application is signed by an authorized agent, a power of attorney document must be attached to verify the
appointment.

A trailer being pulled by a truck licensed under the declared gross weight schedule or a commercial licensed vehicle may display a
trailer identification plate. This will be the only license identification required on the trailer. The $10 fee is a one-time only fee, as
long as the trailer is owned by the applicant.

No identification plate may be displayed on a recreational vehicle. In the event the trailer identification plate is lost, the licensee
must complete a duplicate plate affidavit and submit a $10 fee to the county treasurer.

Except as provided in § 32-9-3.3, any motor vehicle, trailer, semi trailer, motor propelled or trailed vehicle chassis registered in
South Dakota, which is used for highway construction or for the construction of stock water dugouts, dams, farm and ranch
irrigation systems or other soil and water conservation projects on farms and ranches and used exclusively on the job site. Such
equipment may be moved between job sites or from job site to a central location. If you choose to designate the vehicle as a
property-carrying vehicle, and wish to obtain a "P" tag you will have to determine the maximum gross vehicle weight that this
vehicle will carry. One advantage to having a "P" tag is the ability to park in loading zones. Your property tax bill will remain the
same but of course you will pay a higher registration fee. Advertising is not a factor. In order to obtain a "P" tag you would need to
surrender the current tag

Tennessee Commercial Driver License (Class A, B, or C)

Operators of larger and more complex vehicles will need to apply for a Commercial Driver License (CDL). These licenses include
Class A, B, and C depending upon the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR), and what
is being transported. In general, state law defines a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) as any vehicle or combination of vehicles
weighing more than 26,000 pounds. If hazardous materials are transported, or if the vehicle is designed to transport more than fifteen
(15) passengers including the driver, or if the vehicle is used as a school bus, a CDL would also be required, regardless of the weight
of the vehicle. Drivers who need a CDL should obtain the Commercial Driver License Manual, which contains detailed information
necessary to prepare for the tests. These manuals are available at all driver license stations.
Certificate for Driving is not available to cover any type of commercial motor vehicle. An applicant for a CDL must be able to provide
proof of U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Resident status in order to qualify for issuance of a Tennessee CDL.
NOTE: If a person holds a valid commercial driver license (Class A, B, or C license), this license is also valid for operating a Class D
vehicle. No separate Class D license is required. A Class M license (see below) would be needed, however, if a commercial driver
also wanted to operate a motorcycle.

determined by the manufacturer's model year. The annual license fee for trucks is $25 plus an amount based on the empty weight
of the vehicle and its net carrying capacity.
SUVs & vans have a choice between truck and passenger plates. If tonnage is listed on the MSO, the DMV will automatically
issue truck plates.
