CA DMV weight fee???? WTF!!!!!

[riverrunner1984]

It's considered a commercial vehicle. Your plate will only have one letter and the rest numbers. Most every pick up truck is that way.
You can get rid of the weight fee if you have a shell on the truck by taking to DMV and having it verified. It'll get reclassified as a passenger vehicle and get normal looking car plates(1 number, 3 letters, 3 numbers). IF you remove the shell then getting caught is possible but not generally what they look for although the chp is more aware of this stuff.
Risk-reward.

Now that's an idea!!!! Do you know what the penalty is for getting caught without a shell?

Is it worth risking the ticket?

Not sure, but I'm sure the fine would be absorbed in savings if you get a year or two into it before caught.

I've had my 2000 F350 that way since like 2003/4 or so.......I also have personalized plates so the dead give away to LEO isn't obvious.
