Everyone's so busy thinking about the decal stickers that nobody seems to have noticed the lack of a number plate on the truck.

There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it on the front.

Now the supposed reason is that you might have a trailer attached sometimes. But since most truck drivers rarely ever haul with a trailer, the reason is pointless.

In my experience, white dudes follow this "rule" here and people of color put the plates on the back, you know because cops are racist pigs.

This is Marion, SC where you are required a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle.

I for one am tired of tarnishing the good name of pigs by associating them with cops.

Pigs give us ham, and pork, and bacon. Pigs are at the center of every good barbeque. Pigs eat garbage and produce wonderful cuts of meat. Pigs are wonderful, smart creatures and don't deserve to be cast down by permanent association with the worst and dimmest.

Cops are locusts. Inedible, swarming creatures that descend upon decent folk and blight all they touch.

Is this more shit posting or are you serious?

It's for trucks over a certain weight rating. Since most of those trucks will have trailers or large boxes on them, there's no need for that plate

And states with outsourced DMVs play the trust game with folks saying their trucks are a certain weight when they aren't.

The rating is about how much you plan to haul, not what truck you have. It's all about taxing the loads on the road.

Did you ENHANCE the photo or something? There's numbers on it, they're not readable though.
