Legislators vote to eliminate Oregon truck "tax" plates

Oregon is eliminating its "tax" license plate, a 54-year-old trucking icon found on hundreds of thousands of trucks across the country.

With the passage of House Bill 3411, legislators scrapped the red plate, effective July 1, 2002, and agreed that Oregon should just expect interstate trucks to have a plate issued by their base state under the International Registration Plan(IRP), or operate under registration trip permits.

The change does not affect Oregon-based carriers operating trucks with Commercial or Apportioned plates.
