Start by visiting a tag specialist that services used car dealers. They will know all the ins and outs. To find such a place, visit a couple car dealers and ask who they use. There is probably a way to get a title, though it may be a hassle. Calling Harrisburg may be an option, but results will...

Paul, It's unclear to me what you need or whom your are directing your question to. Are you trying to register or title or insure your HT? What do you need help with? If you are looking for insurance, I can recommend you contact the insurance broker I used, they were very good in securing a...

I just saw a Humvee auction on ironplanet and they were issuing SF97's, so maybe the rules changed. They still say offroad use only, so presumably you cannot register the vehicle. But you might be able to get it titled. You should try to contact a good tag place. I have used Langel in Bucks...

IMHO, weigh station only cares that you are under GVWR. I don't know if they will challenge prohibition against hauling cargo on antique plate, but keep in mind that in some cases the truck needs to be loaded as a maintenance matter (to check operation of suspension at capacity or ABS when fully...

I struggled with this issue when getting my 5 ton registered, and I specifically put in GVWR on my title. That way, if I am ever forced to go to a weigh station, I did not want to be compared to "empty" weight and wanted to be legal up to GVWR. The flip side is that you DO need Class B (non...

The problem with this approach is that, when LEO pulls you over, they are already nervous, lest you are some anarchist or worse, a lunatic or terrorist. So, unless it's local LEO that knows you, your best approach is to be super courteous, and immediately explain that you are a...

Insurance is a hornet's nest issue. If you tag it using antique plates, your registration cost will be inexpensive (it's not based on GVWR, as a regular truck would be) and it's a permanent registration (no need to pay every year). It used to be $75 or so, but PennDOT increased their rates, so...

This is just like my experience! PennDOT people on the phone (after 3 transfers) told me I needed to file form DL-901, Don Commercial Drivers License Application to Change, check the box in section B that says "add/extend" and write "Class B, Non CDL" on the line adjacent to "other". When I got...

Correct -- the top form says, "When driving with a learner's permit you must be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years of age or spouse 18 years of age who has a valid driver's license for the class of vehicle you are driving. The person must sit in the seat beside you." I even asked...

I have now spent countless hours chasing this down, including going to PennDOT license center in Bensalem and talking to pretty much everyone there. Per Joe at Bensalem PennDOT -- one of the guys that conducts CDL tests, I had to get a CDL b/c the 5 ton has airbrakes. His colleague, Tom, bought...

Everyone is focusing their comments on cost of plates/insurance and need to inspect when discussing antique/classic plates vs. regular plates. What about CDL?? I heard, but not certain, that if you have MV w/classic plate or antique plate you do not need a CDL. Is that true? I'm keen to find...
