USE OF DEALER&#8217;S LICENSE PLATES OR TEMPORARY TRANSPORT PLATES ON CERTAIN
VEHICLES TRAVELING FROM ONE ESTABLISHMENT TO ANOTHER FOR PURPOSE OF HAVING
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED (§ 46.2-1551)

Notwithstanding the provisions of § 46.2-1550, dealer&#8217;s license plates or
temporary transport plates may be used on tractor trucks or trucks for the
purpose of delivering these vehicles to another establishment for the purpose of
having a fifth wheel, body, or any special permanently mounted equipment
installed on the vehicles, and for the purpose of returning the vehicle to the
dealer whose plates are attached to the tractor truck or truck whether or not
the title to the vehicle has been retained by the dealer, and no other license,
permit, warrant, exemption card, or classification plate from any other agency
of the Commonwealth shall be required under these circumstances. No other
statute or regulation in conflict with the provisions of this section shall be
applicable to the extent of the conflict. This section shall also apply to trips
into the Commonwealth by a vehicle owned and operated outside the Commonwealth
to an establishment within the Commonwealth and to the return trip of that
vehicle from the Commonwealth to another state, provided the operator of the
vehicle carries on his person when so operating a bill of sale for the fifth
wheel, body, or special equipment.
