Image of Flat Weight Trucks (over 8000 pounds) License Plate

A truck is defined as "Every motor vehicle designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property "(625 ILCS 5/1-211).

A truck tractor is defined as "Every motor vehicle designed and used primarily for drawing other vehicles and not so constructed as to carry a load other than a part of the weight of the vehicle and load so drawn" (625 ILCS 5/1-212).

Every truck tractor is issued one plate, which is displayed on the front of the vehicle. Trucks and truck tractors in weight classifications exceeding 8,000 pounds are issued plates with a one-letter suffix designating the vehicle’s specific weight classification. "T" denotes truck tractor plate.
