Should I or shouldnt I?
 
K I need to get over from Ca to Tn or Ok.....to buy a trailer. Was figuring on one of these states so I get the plate license included that never needs to be renewed....hmmmm looked up one way trailers towards or close to these states, taking a trailer that cant be loaded...so I maximize $, but the only two I see are to Washington and Montana (Shelby for gods sakes!)...hmmm so should I wait and possibly get one going my way....or throw in the towel and eat the DH?

Eat it and be done with it then get on with your career.

Are you going to save that much $$$ by DH'ing to OK or TN ?? If so...I can see doing it...but if you will only save a couple hundred dollars..makes no sense.

yeah plenty...want a trailer that has a life time plate, so I dont have to renew it each year like CA.

Do you plan on working anytime soon?

CA trailer plates are permanent. Costs you about $20 every 5 years.

hmmm really...wow they have gone down quite a bit then, I am operating on 4-6 year old data....n its kinda fuzzy in my memory to be honest, just remembering it as lots more, yeah thats not bad, 20 every 5 years ...you sure on that?...
.Yeah meant non-renewable, you pay once for the lifetime of the trailer as I understand in those states, unless I am remembering this wrong, this is the first trailer i actually bought.

Once again wouldn't one phone call to a trailer dealer or dmv get answers faster and more accurate than a message board?

Actually waiting on a few permits too....NY and the New Mexico card that should be mailed to me. KY was fastest. Quess I could go without them tho.
