Just spent a good 2 hours at my DMV (mostly waiting in line). All I wanted to do was get a title in my name for the M35a2. The lady said that I had to send that into Madison as well. In our conversation, she noted that the truck needs to be titled as 16,000lbs truck and that is $283 annually. She had someone on the phone from Madison, and of course I didn't hear that side of the conversation, but this lady in front of me was quite confused. I told her I just needed a title, but she wouldn't even do that. She explained that I needed to register it as a 16,000# truck and that the VIN wasn't coming up when she was looking for it on her end. So according to her, to register as a HMV, I need to send in the money for the plate ($30), and the money for the 16,000# truck as well ($23
, plus my money for the title in my name?
I plan to keep the truck in it's stock form with markings and what-not, and I don't plan on having it as a daily driver. So does the HMV by itself suffice, or does it also need the heavy truck as well??
I just don't want to send Madison a check for stuff I don't need because Lord knows they won't send back any extra! lol
Anyone have any clarification? Or do I just throw my money at Madison and take one for the team?
