Ifyou have a food truck or trailer, we must inspect it before you start your business. Use this page to determine if you have a food truck or trailer, and follow the steps outlined to get an inspection.

Note: Be sure to check with all local building departments where you plan to use your unit. Some building departments may not allow the use of food trucks / trailers in their jurisdiction. You may be required to have a commercial coach in that jurisdiction.

Depending on the equipment you use on your food truck or trailer, you may need to submit plans for approval before scheduling an inspection. Answer the questions below to see if you need to submit plans to us.

Notice: Because of the large number of requests, it can take several months for us to review plans. We will notify you if we need more information or if your plans have been approved.

Prepare for your inspection with our Vendor/Medical Conversion Units Pre-Inspection Checklist (F622-072-000) to prepare for the inspection. Note: You will be charged for an inspection if your truck isn't ready. You will be charged additional fees if extra inspections are needed.

First, complete the Insignia Application for Food Trucks and Concession Trailers That Do Not Require Plans (F623-040-000). The form indicates you don't need a plan, but still need an inspection to obtain your food truck insignia.

Food trucks and trailers are a recent addition to Greenville's vibrant urban landscape and can now be found throughout downtown's Central Business District and in other popular areas of the city.

You need a commercial (or farm, if you qualify) registration plate if your vehicle is a truck, and the gross vehicle weight will exceed 6,000 pounds. A truck is defined as a motor vehicle designed primarily to carry property. A truck also may draw trailers and semi-trailers. Gross vehicle weight (GVW) means the maximum weight of the truck and any load to be carried. If the truck is hauling a trailer, you need a commercial (or farm) plate if the combined gross weight of the truck, trailer and load exceeds 8,000 pounds.

A truck in excess of 6,000 pounds GVW must be registered for the maximum weight of the truck and any load to be carried. If towing a trailer, if the truck and trailer together exceed 8,000 pounds, the truck must be registered for the combined weight of the truck, trailer and load.

For purposes of the CMV regulations, you are in commerce if there is an expectation or possibility of earning money (above reasonable expenses), or receiving other valuable considerations. Competing for prize money at a fair would be considered commerce only if the underlying activity generates income (such as selling animals), or related expenses are taken as an income tax deduction, or if corporate sponsorship is involved. Simply winning a nominal cash prize is not commerce.

You may use a farm plate if the truck is used primarily in conjunction with the operation of a farm and the farmer's private transportation. A truck may not have a farm plate if the truck is used for retail delivery, timber harvesting, or for for-hire related work. There is no limit on how far a farm truck may travel based on the registration. However, see question number 8 for limits based on inspection.

Farming means engaging in farming in all its branches and the cultivation and tillage of the soil as a livelihood and includes dairying; raising livestock, freshwater fish, fur-bearing animals or poultry; producing, cultivating, growing and harvesting fruit, produce or floricultural or horticultural commodities; or any practices on a farm that are incident to or in conjunction with these farming operations. For the purposes of this motor vehicle law, "farming" does not include forestry, the growing of timber or the operation of a farm for recreational activity.

A farm-plated truck may be used to deliver products produced on the farm directly to customers, such as delivering hay. A farm-plated truck may not be used for-hire, or for for-hire construction or landscaping-type work. A farm-plated truck may not be used for retail delivery to a customer.

Generally, yes. Farm plates are a "restricted" plate in the IRP and as such are subject to Maine's bilateral registration reciprocity agreements with other states and provinces. Farm-plated vehicles being used properly may be operated in most other states and provinces, subject to limitations imposed on farm vehicles in those jurisdictions. Out-of-state farm plated trucks may operate in Maine in the same manner as Maine farm-plated trucks.

A farm-plated truck is limited to use related to farming and the farmer's personal and family transportation. A farm-plated truck may obtain either a full or partial inspection. If a full inspection is obtained, then the truck is not limited as to distance for registration and inspection purposes.

If a partial inspection is obtained, the truck is limited to a 20 mile radius of the farm, and the name of the town must be painted on the sides of the truck. The partial inspection includes running gear, steering mechanism, brakes, exhaust system, and lights, safety glass and tires.

Any vehicle or combination of vehicle exceeding 10,000 pounds GVW or GVWR must stop at an open weigh station. The officer may need to ask the driver some questions to determine if the operation is subject to the motor carrier regulations.

Generally, SUV's are considered passenger vehicles. However, if the combined weight of the motor vehicle and trailer exceeds 10,000 pounds actual weight, or the combined gross weight rating of the SUV and trailer exceeds 10,000 pounds; and the vehicle is being used in the furtherance of any commerce, the driver and vehicle are subject to motor carrier safety requirements regardless of the type of registration.

True trailers are registered for their actual weight. A true trailer is a trailer where the weight rests on itself, not on the towing vehicle. The registered weight of the truck and true trailer are added together to obtain the total combined gross weight.
