Tow dolly registration

Technically, here in Montana if you are towing the dolly by itself, it is a trailer and should have a PERMANENT trailer registration and license plate.
If you are towing the dolly with a vehicle on it, it is part of the registered vehicle, and does not need registration or license plate.
I don't think anybody has ever been ticketed for towing an empty dolly with no license plate.

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I learned that U-Haul does't put marker plates on their tow dollies and obviously, those are used interstate.

Thanks! I guess I should have checked that. I just seem to have an aversion to everything connected with the DMV.
