Yup, this is that mess cleaned up nicely.
I had spoken to other MVers and heavy
truck collectors and they said either
write off a commercial plate as a
business expense or write to the Sec.State
for official permission to go as antique.

I think I've dug into the laws enough to
remove the argument for commercial plates
entirely. -Although there are some restrictions
on operating with antique plates they are
all vague and it's basically a vehicle for
exhibition, cruising and fun stuff, can't
use it for hire or as primary transport.
None of that stuff is really defined so as
long as it's not abused it's fine. (Like
hauling timber every day, for example!)

Anyway, this is another State that's almost
accepting my MV.

stations!)
