Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The only truth I could find in THIS whole post, is the LAST SENTENCE. And what is "illegile" ???ok, sorry to disagree, but most of the opinions here are wrong. IFTA is federal and applies to everyone with 3 axles regardless of weight unless it is an RV. a deuce is most certainly not an RV and this has been tested in court. in PA you likely will get a ticket with a big fine. this has also gone to court and the fine was upheld. in most other ststes you will also get a ticket, it has nothing to do with commercial, historic tags, etc. if you have 3 axles, you will be violating the law if you do not have a sticker. same goes for any fuel other than taxed pump fuel. all these mixes people like to use to save fuel are illegile and eventually you may get caught.
now the thing to do is contact the revenue dept of your state as individual states can dictate how IFTA is enforced. for instance in maryland they have agreeded not to include historic tags under the program. in md you can also get a free pass good for 15 days to travel in other states and those states are supposed to honor it.
IFTA has been around for a long time and just has not been enforced. now with revenues low and states hurting for money i think you will start to see more of this.

Tow trucks are not exempt, if they cross state lines.Somewhere in this thread, someone QUIOTED the IFTA regs., it gave the exemptions, one of them was TOW COMPANIES, does that mean those of us that own WRECKERS are exempt ???????
"Tow trucks or wreckers designed and exclusively used in the business of towing or otherwise rendering assistance to abandoned, disabled or wrecked vehicles"
LOL In other words it means what the authority having jurisdiction says it means at the time they say it.
I went to get the NC sticker, but could not because I only have $300,000 liability, and not the mandatory $750,000
That is correct Pete...all six of my wreckers/special transport tractors(over 26K) have IFTA Stickers, and yes...they are checked frequently. The other 10 don't count as they are <26K.Tow trucks are not exempt, if they cross state lines.
Why screw with individual personal vehicles when they could be gettin big bucks from fleets breaking these rules
Where YOU live. Come folks.. not that hard.. every state is different. Next person who makes a blanket 'this is how IFTA works' gets a demerit.Perhaps a "Not for hire" on the sides of the truck can help also. If you are using a 3 axle truck (a semi) ya need the IFTA tags. I see many large type trucks with "not for hire" on the sides and this might be something to look into. Do fight it also. I would bet many govt sectors are doing all they can to snag up 100.00 here and 100.00 there... because our govt does not know how to say no to spending.
