About this plate
SMALL TRAILER. Vermont splits trailers by SIZE into two separately serialized series, this one on the motorcycle-sized plate, and a large trailer series sharing the passenger ABC 123 grammar with a 'TRA' marker. The large series is not given its own entry here: its grammar is identical to the passenger series, its differentiator is a debossed class marker whose serial status is the unresolved AAMVA stacked-character question, and L2 scope does not require it. Recorded as a deliberate omission.
