Pollack Pete 08-24-2004 15:19:50 216.143.211.149 11023 Report to Moderator	I live in the great state of New York.I'm thinking of registering my 40 foot lowboy trailer in Maine.I contacted a broker in Maine.The procedure sounds pretty simple except for the inspection.Any body from New York done this??Can I get the trailer inspected in NY even though I have a Maine registration??I see a lot of semi's on the road with Maine plates on the trailer.It's pretty obvious these trailers don't go back to Maine once a year for an inspection sticker.So,whats the deal here?? Thanks for any info. [Reply]  [No Email]

Also heard the hangup is the inspection, if necessary that has to be done in Maine, and won't, so no inspection sticker but Maine plates on the vehicle. Try it if you believe in it, good luck with it.   [Reply]  [No Email]

However, I have had my trailer registered in ME for almost5 years now and no problems. This past Sunday at an antique truck club picnic, the subject of ME registrations came up. We decided that IF every ME registered trailer came back to ME, there wouldn't be enough room in the state to park them all!   [Reply]  [No Email]
