Just got a civi trailer on GL

[Shizzlemah]

Just had high bid on a civi trailer through GL.

Will GL require a registration and license plate on the trailer before I can haul it off base ? A tow with no plates wouldn't be legal, but I'd only move it 3 miles on asphalt, I can take my chances there.

Or if I load it on another legal trailer, I'd be good to go? Just trying to eliminate two trips, etc.

It would be if you used a wrecker.
Most time G/L wouldn't care about a license plate but if you made the guy mad, he could call the MPs. Wayne

I picked up a M146 from FT. Meade 2 weeks ago. I did not put a tag on it. I guess it depends on the GL person.

Picked up a M103A3 at FT. Drum a month ago. The GL yard manager didn't even bat an eye that I didn't have a tag for the trailer. Just watch out for LEOs on the way home.
Good luck and just my

I'm not sure about your state, but here in MI you have 48hrs to get it home after purchase. Just have your paid invoice with you to show the LEO if you are stopped.

you can probably go to your local licensing place and get a 3 day trip permit. WA state costs $30

I always take off a tag from one of my other trailers if I want to be legal. But I've often towed trailers without plates. I hauled a tow dolly with a 26' M117 attached to it from Ashville, NC to NJ without any tags. I just made sure that all the lights worked. A lot of LEO's don't even question military vehicles.
