License/title MDT in WA
I just spent over an HOUR in a local WA licensing office transferring title and getting plates for a Freightliner Sportchassis. To those unfamiliar, the truck is an MDT (medium duty), bigger than a 550 but smaller than a Class 8 (semi) tractor.
In 2012 WA changed their rules/regs regarding anything with a GVWR over 16,000. Clerk A gave me some papers to read and said I'd need a DOT number. Problem was, those papers clearly stated this was for a COMMERCIAL vehicle. I'm not a business nor a farmer. I went back a while later and talked to Clerk B who, after much time and phone calls and mouse clicking finally got me papered up and gone.
I was expecting trouble from my insurance company, but that was no sweat.
