Guess you don't agree with what the "clickie above" on what 390.5 says regarding mising door tag GVWR, huh. Thats not surprising as the reg debunks the matteress tag theory and makes the tag a legal issue.
I agree with the link. However, as been stated OVER AND OVER that is a link to commercial trucking. Your specific premise about the door tag question only pertains to COMMERCIAL vehicle operators who try to beat the system by removing the plate to avoid medical card requirements, etc. The plate on my 24' deckover flatbed fell off years ago but it doesn't matter. It is registered for 14k GVWR (the weight on the Certificate of Origin) and is never loaded heavier than that. No problem. Take a look at a lot of the plates on older RVs and you will find they are illegible. Doesn't matter, GVWR does not show up on RV trailer registrations.
By the way, your "clickie above on what 390.5 says" is inaccarate. Your clickie refers to 390 regs and specifically refers to 390.5 as the place to find definitions, just like Wadcutter said.
