A CDL and "professional" status carries a lot more hassle than a 400 fee. Not saying 400 is a good number exactly, but I know in Illinois it is 120 for an RV plate. I would be willing to pay more than 120 to have a category that makes sense. I have never been pulled over in Illinois. I have lived in Illinois all of my life. I bet they are like most states. They try and hassle the out of state people.

I do know the system as it stands is crazy. It is bad wrong and varies from state to state. The reason for this is ignorance and apathy in my opinion. At least someone appears to be making an effort. It would be good to see something on a federal level. (as long as it makes sense)
