I ran a c plate here in Illinois for years then I traded for a new trailer and when I went to get the new plates the lady at the DMV told me that a c plate which is good for up to 7000 lbs needs a inspection done on the trailer and the truck it is being towed behind every 6 months. It also has to have brakes on all axles. I was unaware of this for several years. I now run a B plate that is good up to 5000 lbs. I am just glad that I did not get caught before.
