About this plate
LOUISIANA TRAILER PLATES. Included because L2 names trailer as a core class and because Louisiana's treatment is the richest of the four states here: seven statutory categories, three weight thresholds, three registration terms and a permanent plate that is non-transferable by rule. The class scheme is fully sourced and the serial arrangement is not, so the scheme is recorded as data and the arrangement as a flagged guess.
