Well, if the owner has an active farm (at least 3 acres or 25 bee hives) and is within a 25 mile radius of the farm that seems legit. Not sure the relevance of a trailer with Maine tags.Just followed a truck from Park Hall to above Leonardtown. Farm tags on that like-new Ford pickup, pulling an empty jet ski trailer with Maine tags.

When you say "farm tags" do you mean those orange ones anybody can get?Just followed a truck from Park Hall to above Leonardtown. Farm tags on that like-new Ford pickup, pulling an empty jet ski trailer with Maine tags.

Yes, they are registered vehicles - Class K.Are these different than painting farm use only on a truck?
It's like how people used to register a boat in Delaware regardless of where they lived. Low registration and tax rates.Not sure the relevance of a trailer with Maine tags.
DNR used to have a "flying squad" whose only mission was to identify and track down scofflaws that were keeping their boats in MD waters, but using outside registration to save money on taxes and fees paid to MD. Don't know if they still do...It's like how people used to register a boat in Delaware regardless of where they lived. Low registration and tax rates.
Not much different than the guy daily driving the clapped out, rust bucket 1992 Honda Prelude with "Historic" tags.Just followed a truck from Park Hall to above Leonardtown. Farm tags on that like-new Ford pickup, pulling an empty jet ski trailer with Maine tags.

Guess the question would be are they maryland residents with a farm presumably within 25 miles of this truck? If so, why are they registering their trailers in other states? If they are Maine residents, why the Maryland farm tag.Well, if the owner has an active farm (at least 3 acres or 25 bee hives) and is within a 25 mile radius of the farm that seems legit.

If they're lying/cheating on their trailer tags, they have a LOT of company, because many many people run Maine tags in MD. You would think that as money hungry as the MD MVA is, they would be cracking down on this if it weren't legal. It's easier to register a trailer with Maine tags in MD, than it is to do it legally here.Guess the question would be are they maryland residents with a farm presumably within 25 miles of this truck?

The answer is pretty obvious, the person lied/cheated for the trailer tag. If someone is willing to do this for a trailer, they may also be willing to do it for the truck which may or may not be used for farming at all.

Who said it was their trailer? Might be they helped someone by hauling their trailer and don't own it. Hell, maybe they snagged it at a boat ramp parking area and were stealing it.Guess the question would be are they maryland residents with a farm presumably within 25 miles of this truck?

I've run Maine and Virginia Permanent trailer tags for decades.
