Interesting. So you're driving through another state and each cop you pass
stops you. You have to contionously explain the state does not require
plates. Wonder how the RLC people are gonna like it.


Soooo, everyone in the country removes their plates and claims they live in
texas.

Claims? Just go ahead and register your vehicle there*.

*Allowed for corporations, perhaps not for individuals. One of the
contractors for our local utility has all of their vehicles registered in a
Florida. For tax purposes? Most of these vehicles will never see a foot of
road outside of Washington State.

If the company has an office in florida they can legally use that as their
registration address.
The trucking company C R England has their plates issued out of Indianna
even though their corporate offices are in Utah.
Taxes? No. For the license plate. In. now allows trucking companies to put
their logo on the plates.

Proof of registration with no plate. Dumbass, that comes with the plate.

This would be fraud. Commercial vehicles with "Apportioned" plates and IFTA
stickers have an exception, since they have their own system to see that each
state they've driven in gets its share of the tax.

Hardly. There are different types of commercial vehicles.
Let's say a business has a fleet of fifty ford f-150 pickup trucks.
In many states, this would not qualify for an "apportioned" plate.
the vehicle does not meet DOT requirements for IFTA.
The vehicles would be issued a commercial license for that class of vehicle
within that state.
Even a motorcycle could be a commercial vehicle.

Cite from another source besides "The Newspaper" which is more of a blog
rather than a syndicated news source?

What with Washington State hungry for revenue, you'd think they'd chase
these companies down. But they don't.
