Quote: Here in Michigan we buy a permanent plate, good till you sell the trailer. If you buy another trailer you have to buy another permanent plate. Truck plates are based on dollar value. I have no idea how you guys can change the GVW on a trailer or truck
Truck plates here are by weight. They have different class ranges. My 3/4 ton is a class 3 and its $152 a year to register it. I have a sticker on my windshield that has a 3 on it to show that.
