Plate costs.

[marcel27208]

some else just asked this question and i didnt want to hijack his thread, but i live in NC and am going to buy my own plates, anybody know the cost? im going to put all 48 states on there. and can i buy the plates while im still leased to schneider(cuz they pay for my plates now), OR when i leave schneider and go to another orientation in another state, do i get like a temporary tag or something if the company im going to will pay for my plates? Long story short, the company i need to do orientation with is in WI and i live in NC, gave my 1 week notice and need to get to WI with my truck.

I think it varies depending on the state you live in. Mine cost me $1,100 here in New Hampshire.

Gman, where you at? You're needed over here. How's he going to get to WI? And while you're at it, should I leave Landstar and go to, say, Dana... :wink: , what happens with the plates I'm getting from Landstar? Do I owe them for the remainder of the year or is it some kind of situation, partial year- partial cost? Could I still just keep the same base plate and pay it off myself?

What's the deal, Marcel? Closet Schneider O/O? If you change jobs who is going to represent over half of O/Os, not like your representation was worth a **** since you were in the closet, anyway. What about your new gig? Whatcha going to be doing?

[marcel27208]

I admit for awhile there i was a closet o/o with them, heres the deal, i run local in NC/VA/SC, and long story short SNI doesnt see a need for the greensboro rail anymore except for a few company drivers, so im gonna leave, in the mean time im running on % program until june 5 or 6th when im going to orientation in milwaukee for Roadrunner Dawes, and basically im just tryint to find out can i get my plates now while im still with schneider, what do i need to go get them(some1 said copy of the lease), does that mean company im leasing to?

[marcel27208]

ok i just went to NCDOT.org and found what it said about what i had to have, i dont know how to post link here though sorry, so from what i understand i have to have a copy of the company that im going to insurance card and current 2290 and a few other things it looks like, so i cant get it while still leased to schneider, i think! :shock: im still confused

[pepe4158]

North Carolina is one of the few states I know of that certainly does issue a 30 day temp plate (maybe others do too....hmmm yeah know AZ does they reemed me 130 for it!) Just to drive thru!
I know cuz when I purchased my truck in N.C. they issued me a 30 day papper plate on proof of insurance.
It was ONLY $5 in N.C........whata deal!

cut and paste. highlight the address, click 'copy', go down to your message, click 'paste.' If 'copy' doesn't work hold down the control button and hit 'c' at the same time.

Yeah but the Indianas expired?.....so you can do a N.C. temp i would think?...plz tell me if not FMOI?

[marcel27208]

no the indiana plate isnt expired im just leaving the company and trying to get my own plate b4 i leave to lease on to another company, but from what i understand i have to have new company's insurance information among other things

[marcel27208]

i tried to copy/paste/cut or whatever but still kinda lost on that...

i believe it says i need carriers insurance information or card(certificate of insurance

the companys rs-3(single state registration receipt)

so from what i read i need an insurance certificate and current single state registration?

Next time you open a window hold down the shift and do a left click. You'll die!

You can get a temporary or a regular plate even if you still have your SNI one. When you leave SNI you just turn in your plate and put the new one on. There's no universal computer system that tells everyone where you're registered, they can only go by what's on or in the truck. But you will have to have proof of insurance. Roadrunner might even provide you with a temporary. Some companies will and some won't. Don't you have to have your own trailer with RR/D? I had some pretty lengthy discussions with them this winter. Have you seen their rate matrix? I've never seen anything like that :shock: Seemed like good people.

[mike3fan]

In my opinion it is best to get your own plates,Cam when I left Landstar they just take the plate and tell you "if" they assign it to another BCO they will prorate the remaning amount back to you,yeah right,after I left Landstar I changed companies twice more in about 4 months and each time I had the entire cost of the plate taken out of settlement checks and never got anything back.

So get your own plate and you can take it where ever you go,also Cam you will not be able to take your plate from Landstar with you.

Unless your carrier provides your base plate at their expense, you should be able to get your own, if you pay for it yourself. You will still need to do your IFTA through your carrier. There should be no charge for the IFTA. If you want to get your own base plate in your home state you will need a few things. You will need a copy of your paid 2290, copy of your lease to a carrier (there is also a form which usually must be filled out and submitted). Requirements can vary somewhat from one state to another. You may also need a copy of the carrier's motor carrier authority and proof of insurance.
