I'm in NY and all three of my trailers are sporting those green and white Maine plates, last time I got pulled over the officer ended up walking away with the info so he could register his own trailer in Maine and save money too!
Please do it , we need the dough.
i am in NY as well. i have a 5 yr maine plate on my 12k equip trailer. i have not had any issues with it, and i do get "harrassed" by local law enforcement quite a bit because of the truck/trailer combo that i have (they are convined that i must be using it for business). i also shut them up w/the fact i have a class A, but i do get stopped several times a year
The SC county I live in would not take to Maine plates. The county website has a form to report residents with out of state plates...then they come get you for tax evasion, improper registration and no telling what else!
Many guys I know here in NY do the same.
NY keeps screwing with the rules and fees, what do they expect.:confused2:
With the trailer "address" in maine, how does it affect insurance being towed via a NYS vehicle? How does this affect the ownership with address in maine ? I saw on one website you need to sign over a power of attorney and I think its for changing name on title in maine? Reason I ask, I am not smart eenough to know- and want links to support these questions as I have a nervous wife and I would like to try this with my trailers. I see on one website- its 99 bucks for 5 years registration versus 70 bucks a year plus taxes, plus inspections .
