The state of residence determines what plate is required, some do not differentiate between commercial and non commercial

Just plain ole common sense employed here in my opinion!
Texas doesn't issue specific plates, it's either regular or personalized

So a state (or province) designated plate determines whether the exact same van has to enter the scales or not.
Nice
Nice

Florida is the same way, but does Texas say its commercial on the registration like Florida does?
Ohio plates are easy to tell the difference, commercial plates always begin with the letter P (except commercial busses)

Wish I had of said that LOLThat's ironic Ovm, Murray got me down here to Florida so I could get my generator - a/c & swing out basket kit from another expeditor - with a Mayo clinic delivery.
The equipment I bought was from a "failed" somewhat newbie expeditor. It wasn't anything he "did" per se, nor current rates, or lack of runs, etc.
He failed due to his new, " industry's most dependable... Never let you down" Promaster putting him out of business.
Some will say ".... his fault, should've bought used" , or "... he had no backup plan" or whatever.
The truth of the matter whole matter is - wait for it -
Life's a, and then you die!
Another expeditor, friend of mine is leaving his carrier again, the one he says was to be his "last" one from which he would retire from - because they have buckled under the negative downward pressure of this game and have begun putting it onto the backs of the o/o. One of the last few surviving "elite", hard to sign up with smaller ones. No owner change or dramatic unjustified increase in units, but all of a sudden after many years of no escrow, low insurance and deductible expenses, no forced dispatch, "we're family here" environment ; now its become a hostile expensive low miles/lowwr rate, high non-payment deadhead-to-pickup environment. Just like the carrier knew if the "originals" I left after 10 yrs.
This is a whole different animal we're dealing with here than it was 10 yrs ago, and I'm not happy with the numbers and types entering this arena either.... But I won't stand in the way of anyone doing this the right way working hard to make a living. I will engage them in civil debate and try and not to belittle them.
I don't know what their needs are just as they don't know mine.

Here's a question. How will EOBR'S be handled by independents? FMCSA says they're not aware of any available outside of a carrier network...
No, it doesn't. But when you're registering for the very first time, they're asking for the gross vehicle weight. That's not to determine if it's commercial, but to charge you accordingly...

Yes. That happens to be the rate. Home cleaning unless something juicy pops, bills be damned
(Went OoS at 7am but he can't resist calling me on a good rate)
