Permits are different in every state. They are usually not very expensive. I've seen them as low as 15 dollars. As far as allowing farm plates not sure. Go to wdot and idot. gov. They can help you with permits and you can do it online from home even print them off.

Farm plates are getting harder to get by with all the time. Depends on the mood of the cop, but you will usually get some tickets with the farm plates more than 150 miles from home. Regardless of any permits.

I do not think you are allowed to haul a pulling tractor on farm plates in Il, at least not on IL plates.

ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL PERMITS, ETC. I NEED FOR BRINGING A LEGAL SIZE AND WEIGHT TRUCK/LOAD INTO ILLINOIS?
In Illinois all issues pertaining to 72 hour Trip Permits, licenses, special haul stickers, etc. are handled by the Illinois Secretary of States office which can be reached at (217) 782-4815 or by internet at: [www.cyberdriveillinois.com]

Looked this up on IDOT, hope it helps, good luck at Gordy, going to be unable to make it

The farm plate is intended for you to be able to move your crops from field to market. NOT haul your toys around. As usual, somebody wants to beat the system. If you wanna play, then pay up. What's next? Do you need some food stamps or a LINK card so you can buy a new turbo?? I hear medicare has a great new billet wheel if you can a prescription written for it. I just get sick of people abusing the system that was designed to help them. If you have a farm plate, stay home or hire a licensed carrier to haul it for you. DUH!!!!!

TO LET YOU TRACTOR PULLERS KNOW IN ORDER TO CROSS STATE LINES LEGALLY YOU HAVE TO HAVE APPORTION PLATES WITH THE STATE YOU ARE ENTERING ON YOUR REGISTRATION CARD. WITH OUT THESE ITEMS ALONG WITH HEALTH CARD PLUS PROOF OF INSURANCE WITH AN INTERSTATE ENDORSMENT PLUS USDOT # ALONG WITH ICC # ALONG WITH NUMEROUS OTHER DOCUMENTS. YOU FARMERS HAVE BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH STUFF WITH YOUR SEMIS WAY TO LONG. I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS WHY NOT YOU. IF WE GET CAUGHT WE ARE HIT WITH A BIG FINE AND PUT OUT OF SERVICE. IF YOU WANT YOUR BIG FANCY RIGS TO JUST PUT A FEW MILES ON EVERY SUMMER, AND LOOK COOL IS DOESN'T MATTER YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FED.GOVERMENT JUST LIKE WE DO. I TRUCK FOR A LIVING, BY THE WAY

you can have a state tag, buy a trip and fuel permit, and enter in to another state, yes you need a DOT # and a cdl license and a med card. Having prorated tacs makes it easier, but not necessary, and take you caps lock off. Its on the left side of the keyboard!

Single trip permit will get you down there and back with no problems wouldn't matter if you had a plate on the truck or not since you are permitting the truck for that run. The only problem with a single trip permit is they are usually only good for 3 days.

WRONG! You must be plated and insured. All your trip permit does is pay the Illinois Motor Fuel tax for the miles you drive in this state. And if you can't prove your delivering a commodity such as grain or livestock you won't get a trip permit.
And 1: I farm. 2: I have a tractor. 3: I have to follow the rules and so should you. 4: My brother is an Illinois DOT officer and one more smart $ss comment from you idiots and I'll make sure he's sitting outside the front gate at Gordyville. Illinois could use a little bit of you out of state cheaters money!!!!

Re: gordyville trip permits December 26, 2011 04:18PM
Well he kind of got riled up there but he is right. Your Farm or county plates are only for raw Ag commoditys not for hauling tractor around. You need Apportioned plates for that. It all depends on if you get stopped by officer in bad mood what will happen. Depends on whether you feel lucky or not. Regardless a trip permit is as simple as a phone call to state or states your going through.

I guess the whole farm tag thing is just like deciding if you are going to have a farm tractor or a pulling tractor, it has came to that point, if you want a dedicated pulling tractor, have a dedicated pulling hauler, get another farm tractor, get another farm truck!!!! And while your at it, don't forget to seperate them all on you tax returns coming up!

Not too worried about the D.O.T. officers. Most guys take care of their business. But like I said, I don't think you, the "FANS" or competitors want to draw any excellerated attention. Might end up getting caught in your own bear trap. And by the way NASCAR and NHRA are occupations for those guys. Tractor pulling is a hobby. Unless you want to start paying $50-$60 per session, to watch pulling. It will always be a hobby.

You are right! If you ask for permission all you are doing is asking for trouble. The smartest thing to do is do like me, which isn't very hard for me, just act like the dumbest sob in a truck. They feel sorry for you and your parents and usually let you go when you start asking them questions that they can't answer. LOL!

If your caught in Illinois with a farm plate with a pulling tractor on the trailer your in big $hit. The Illinois dot can put you out of service until you buy the legal Illinois plate for that vehicle. A base plate for a semi will cost you about $2800. Don't know about a 1 ton. Probably $250 for the truck and the same for the trailer. Trust me. I know as I have had it happen. The farm plate is intended for one purpose only and you guys know what it is. It's not a "discount" way to get to a pull. Roll the dice if you want. Go ahead and smile, act dumb, put your 200 lb wife in a bikini. You'll learn real quick that the Illinois boys in tan, not blue, have no sense of humor. I don't want to see any pullers get in trouble but you should know in advance what could happen. As far as the idiot who posted about Gordyvilles impact on Illinois tourism, DUH!!!! Gordyville doesn't equal one third of the tail gate partys at a Bears game. Great pulling venue but has no impact on 99.7% of Illinois residents.

Hope this blessing comes to him. Hope he does not ruin the pull for the fans and the pullers, no money made by pullers, doing it for the fun of the sport.

Re: gordyville trip permits December 29, 2011 09:26AM
Well Boys here is what ILL. told me and this come directly from a ILL. Dot Offical and the ILL Sec. of States office. They don't care what plate you are running in the state you come from. In Ill. you need a trip permit and that requires a USDOT no. You have a USDOT # and he told me all you had to do was call the Ill Sec of State and get the permit. They don't care if it's a farm tag or a commercial tag. That is what I was told by the Ill Dot and that is what the Ill. Sec. of state told me. Problem with that issue is some states don't require USDOT #'s on farm vehicle like in Mo. Farm tags are exempt in Mo. from federal road use tax and some Dot requiments, but once you get a USDOT # your exemptions go away and that's where the problems starts. We firgued out how we're going to get there. See you in Gordyville.

You couldn't be more wrong! You may not move anything with a farm plate in Illinois unless it's a commodity that you own and intend to deliver. Just because you didn't ask the right questions doesn't give you the right to get on here and give people the wrong info. I wish no one any ill will. I just think you should know what the law is. And since I have to abide by the law, so should you. But I guess once a cheater always a cheater. So knock yourself out and roll the dice just like you do at every pull. Some days you get caught, some days you don't.
And to Sherlock Holmes. cbjj1956@yahoo.com is only one of several emails I have because if you want to be honest on here you have to shield yourself from the keyboard know it alls. But I'm really impressed with your digital skills!! Did you get that Superman cape that you always wanted for xmas??

I will not be at Gordyville. And the issue I have is ANYBODY who thinks their above the law or the rules. Slam and belittle me all you want. Your only showing your ignorance. Here's some info for you direct from the Illinois Sec. of State office web site. Maybe if Sherlock would have looked here instead of wasting his 10 seconds to find my email he would be slightly smarter.

Are there any restrictions on a Farm plate?
Farm Plates may be issued to any vehicle that is used exclusively for the owner's agricultural, horticultural or livestock operations and not-for-hire. Farm Plates may also be issued to for-hire vehicles only in the transportation of seasonal, fresh, perishable fruit or vegetables from the farm to the point of first processing. An applicant is limited to five sets of plates for power units, of which only two sets of plates may exceed 59,500 pounds plus two Farm Trailer Plates.

And EXCUUUUSSE me if I don't think Gordyville is a point of first processing. I wish the best of luck to Klint and all of the pullers who get there legally. This is a great event and great for pullers. Has zero tourism impact on the miserable state of Chicago. OOPS. Meant Illinois.

it really gets me how many experts on the laws for trucks their are here on pull off BEEN THERE and a few others have got it right . i have and own a trucking business.so i do believe i should know what it right. you guys who want to come in to the state illinois with your semis with your farm plates just come on in , but when the dot officer pulls you over don't get mad its your own fault you are getting a ticket. apportion plates are needed to cross states lines along with other numerous papers farm plates can be used if it is a commidity going to a processing plant or market but even then i believe there is a mileage limit on that even. these are not state laws these are federal laws to control trucking companies . and to track the trucks as they cross the country. you farmers been getting away with a lot so far but the feds are on to you guys and they will get you. a neighbor got audited this pass summer and it cost him 12000 dollars in fines plus he had to pay back fuel taxes as well. pretty expensive thing to have just to use 6 weeks out of the year and show off to your neighbors.

1 more bit of advice..... don't be talking on your cell phone while driving because thats a big fine now in Semi. Most Farmers don't know about the new Federal law, been kept kind of quiet. No cell phone, GPS, or any kind of hand held device can be used while operating vehicle! There is no talking out of this one and they are enforcing this! BIG time fine!

As the officer rolls up behind you tapping on his computer (like he has been for the last 5 or 10 miles) and gives you a ticket for distracted driving, and as you leave, he pulls away, tapping your ticket information into his computer while driving down the road and gets a text and cell phone call, and he handles both of them while driving,,,,,,,,,and still tapping on his computer.
