## About this plate

TRAILER. Statutorily single-plate (c.90 §6 names the trailer case explicitly), and administratively single-expiry (30 November for all), which together explain why the trailer serial does the opposite of the passenger serial: no month code, and a class prefix instead. The 'TZ' prefix is the most recent of five arrangements on one unchanged design, a reminder that in Massachusetts a serial-format change is routine and a DESIGN change is rare.
