Re: [MV] Licensing big rigs without a second mortgage

I don't think so. When I got my historical plates for my M51, the BMV
clerk explained that I really didn't need plates in Indiana legally (due to
Indiana's special MV provision), but that they would give them to me so
other states would stay off my back. I asked about my paperwork being
questioned by other states and they said if they license it whatever way,
then the other states are required to allow it. I believe there is a
federal statute for that also. Sort of a reciprocity agreement, etc.

For instance - I can drive my M51 in CA even though I'm pretty sure they
don't allow historical plates on 23,000 lb vehicles.
