Well, yeah. If they don’t and are hauling more weight than their plates allow, the highway patrol will give them a ticket. If I wanted to haul over 3 tons of weight with my Tahoe, I’d have to have commercial plates even though it’s not being used as a commercial vehicle.
Until fairly recently, all trucks were licensed with the “COMMERCIAL” rated plates in MO… Even the show truck I had in the early 2000’w had to have commercial plates, and the most it ever hauled was detailing equipment.
Is this more shit posting or are you serious?
It’s for trucks over a certain weight rating. Since most of those trucks will have trailers or large boxes on them, there’s no need for that plate
And states with outsourced DMVs play the trust game with folks saying their trucks are a certain weight when they aren’t.
The rating is about how much you plan to haul, not what truck you have. It’s all about taxing the loads on the road.
Yep, doesn’t mean that people do it correctly, or for the right reasons.
Shit posting? No. Look it up. Serious as hell.
Looked it up and you appear to be seriously wrong. Source or GTFO
It is common for people to reg their truck as commercial in MO for instance. Thanks for being a dick. https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/titling-registration/fees.html

Yes, this is true, but what is also true is application of the law, who and who isn’t policed. It is more often people of color getting these tickets.
