App plates VS Standard plates?

You have to have apportioned plates to leave the state you are out of. I don't think you can buy a permit for other states without the app. plate.

If you have no intentions of leaving Idaho just go with a State plate.

 

You are required by law to have commercial plates on a for hire vehicle and some private fleet trucks. I'm not sure but I think it depends on the GVW rating. The standard plates also won't be excepted for interstate commerce. They are meant for basically farm trucks that run locally. Apportioned plates have a set formula for the cost based on the estimated or actual mileages (which ever is higher of course) and the states you register for. Also included in this formula is a weight consideration. My Ohio base plates with 37 other states and a GVW of 80,000 lbs cost me about $1700 last years. I had to use almost all estimated miles because I just don't run many miles (I try to run less than 100,000 a year).

 

My pickup truck is commercial with regular plates on it at 26,000 lbs registration.

Apportioned plates usually follow the IFTA rules of 26,001 lbs and up.

 

You will need to check on the reciprocity between the state you are registered in and the state you are entering.

 

Your company will know the states you need permits in.

I have to buy permits in NM, AZ, ID, and check in at WY.

 

Is there a way I can find out in advance online what apportioned plates are going to cost me in NC?

 

That all depends on which states you have on the plate,.....
