Maine Trailer Fee Hike May Push Registrations Out of State
A new law doubling semi trailer license fees to ten dollars a year could push Maine trailer fleets to register elsewhere. Xtra Inc. and Realco Services, holding over one third of the state's 135 000 licenses, are considering registering trailers in Tennessee or other states to avoid higher costs. Officials say the long term six year tagging system remains a key factor for leasing fleets and that total short term revenue losses may top one million dollars, though overall revenues are expected to rise.
