I suspect you are right.
I have a few irons in the fire so will see what shakes out.
May well be a thread shortly on my recovery plans asking for suggested route and SS backup along the way.
Possible reasons:
1. I am color blind and did not realize
2. This is an apportioned truck, the front is tagged in NC and the rear is tagged in VA
3. The tag in the back is the tag from VA, the tag in the front is the NC Beach Buggy Association and allows for driving on the beach.

Found this on CL down on the Outer Banks, NC
Price was right, now to get it back to Boston, MA.
I may well drive it back, let's see what U-Ship and others have to offer.
I need an M923 transported as per the title.
Let me know if anyone is interested in hauling this or knows of anyone in the area that does the east coast routes.
Thanks.

Hi,
Anyone near Lancaster, SC willing to take a drive and look over an M816 for me.
It's a private sale, no GL to deal with.
Let me know, PM or call me on 978 604 8377 if you need more details.
Cheers,

PS: I realized this is probably in the wrong forum as it's GL related and...
I am very glad you were right and also very pleased with the outcome in terms of being able to post information that can be of use to all the folks here on SS in MA.
The number to call is 978 369 1004.
Very friendly, very helpful and I think wishing more people asked questions as part of...
Not sure re the truck it's in NJ.
So far as last night, it was a spur of the moment as I was running around with the kids, also as the road block was up, had you come that way :oops:
NO CDL for 5 TON in MA!
Per Trooper Burdett at Commercial Vehicle Enforcement State Police this applies:
5. Recreational Vehicle Operators. Any vehicle operated solely as a personal or family conveyance for recreational purposes may be operated with a Class D License. To be exempt from CDL...
" I guess 5 pages of advice from guys that THINK have been running their trucks legally in Ma."
And that's the problem, thinking you are legal as you sit in the back of the cruiser and watch the wrecker tow your truck away is small consolation.
UPDATE:
Well I got a callback which resulted in nothing. The guy had no clue what I was talking about re the CDL exemption, "maybe if you get a ticket and go to court a Judge could decide" - aua
On the Antique plate and weight he 'thought" there was no restriction.

They never asked for the weight when I applied for Antique.

I have specifally asked RMV Central this:
Phyllis,
Any feedback on:
"Is there any vehicle weight restriction on Antique registration?"...
According to my insurance guy, you must register the truck at it's GVW, you cannot de-rate it by registering it as less, it's an offence in MA, if you are stopped and the registation and data plate do not match you will be cited.
Well, here we are a week later and no call back from the RMV despite daily emails to remind them and nice replies stating that 'We will call or email you tomorrow.'
