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.
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.
correct on the commercial trucking part. This whole issue is fed regs and is the trucks door tag GVWR/GAWR a legal tag and is it used for weight issues commercially and non commercial. As the officer that gave the reg to me says 390.5 interpetation
Subpart A—General " APPLICABILITY and definitions" gives the officer guidence if the tag is missing.
OK has a reg thats specifically deals with missing placards/knowingly destroying/removing/covering/destroying which makes it a misdeameanor to do so. His point was he can hit the operator with a missing placard.
See my post above on page #16 dated 1-19-09 11:36am for my point on commercial and non commercial issues regarding GVWR/GAWR door tag/placard/post or what ever others use for description.
