Truckers must buy NAFTA tag or Register

Posted by JustTrucking on Jul 15, 2007 • (0)

No more fudging with the rules. Legislators found out that some unregistered trailers meant to operate only in the border commercial zones were roaming U.S. roads undetected. Starting Sept. 1, foreign-owned or foreign-leased commercial trucks and trailers will have a choice: register to drive in Texas or buy a new $15 NAFTA tag. The tags, really Texas license plates with the word “NAFTA” on them, will be available at Texas Department of Transportation offices.State Rep. Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, drafted the bill, HB313.

With the NAFTA tags, he said, “law enforcement officers will know that these trucks and mostly, trailers, are supposed to be in a commercial zone.”
