Big-Rig trucks with no licence plate.

[Dr. Zaus]

Hi,

In the past two days I've seen two big-rig trucks with no licence plate. I'm right near juarez/el-paso are these drug-lords movinglos-pollos-hermanos or are they secret military movements for the local military bases?

100% legit,

on the trailer or on the cab?

I was behind the things and where there was supposed to be the licence plate there was a an empty rectangle.

Military moves weapons and nuclear weapons on regular trucks that are licensed to look like regular trucks (incognito).

So no-licence plate would be a dead giveaway: thus this isn't what's up...

Distractor vehicles. Cops pull those over and search them while the real trucks carrying drugs/humans roll on by.

Or they're just incompetent owners.

Often on big rigs, because they change trailers so often, the license plate will not be put on the trailer, but instead will be put on the front of the truck. It is more important that the actual rig have the license plate instead of the trailer. So if you are driving behind a big rig, you might not see a license plate on the back. Not a big deal.

The trailers will be registered as well and have their own license plate, different from what the truck has. So yeah, the trailer should have a plate.

Yes, but OP didn't specify if there was a trailer or not.

Both had trailers; one had cars on it the other was the big-white-box type.

And it seems in both cases an LP is needed: If a big-rig is swerving between lanes I need to bea able to call his sleepy-ass in.

Military trailers don't have plates but usually have a 'bumper number'... an identifier of the unit it belongs to and the vehicle number. These can be obscured or removed when a unit is moving for security reasons.

Government vehicles have the 'white plate'... plain white plate with black or blue alpha/numeric markings.

And, yes, tractors typically have the plate(s) on the front so they can be ID'ed when they have a trailer on (going across a scale, etc...)

So: potential military transportation but not likely a top-secret thing where they need to move entirely incognito.
