Section 810-5-1-.230 - License Plates For Yard Trucks
(1) In accordance with § 40-12-248, Code of Ala. 1975, motor carriers who have been issued a certificate pursuant to Chapter 3 of Title 37, Code of Ala. 1975, may purchase a restricted license plate for a truck-tractor, commonly known as a terminal tractor, spotter truck, yard truck, yard jockey or mule to be operated exclusively within fifteen (15) miles of the incorporated municipality in which it is customarily domiciled. The license plate is displayed on truck-tractors that are used to move semi-trailers within a cargo yard, warehouse facility, or intermodal facility.
(2) The fifteen (15) mile limit is determined by the city limits of the incorporated municipality in which the trucktractor is domiciled and not the city limits of a contiguous incorporated municipality. The license plate cannot be displayed on vehicles operating beyond the borders of Alabama.
(3) When the truck-tractor is moved or transferred from an incorporated municipality located in one county to an incorporated municipality located in another county, the license plate of the former county must be surrendered to the new county of domicile and the local licensing official will issue a replacement license plate of the new county of domicile without charge except for the issuance fee provided for in § 40-12-271, Code of Ala. 1975.
(4) A temporary tag must be obtained to move or relocate a truck-tractor from the municipality in which the truck-tractor is presently based. The temporary tag will be issued by the local licensing official in accordance with §32-6213, Code of Ala. 1975, in the county in which the truck-tractor is presently based.
