    There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it in the front.

    Is this more shit posting or are you serious?

            Well, yeah. If they don’t and are hauling more weight than their plates allow, the highway patrol will give them a ticket. If I wanted to haul over 3 tons of weight with my Tahoe, I’d have to have commercial plates even though it’s not being used as a commercial vehicle.

            Until fairly recently, all trucks were licensed with the “COMMERCIAL” rated plates in MO… Even the show truck I had in the early 2000’w had to have commercial plates, and the most it ever hauled was detailing equipment.

      It’s for trucks over a certain weight rating. Since most of those trucks will have trailers or large boxes on them, there’s no need for that plate
