vehicle; exemption.
The county treasurer shall issue to the owner a registration receipt on
each application for a truck or truck tractor license. The registration
application and receipt shall be in such number and contain such
information as the division shall determine. A copy of the registration
receipt shall be carried in the cab of such truck or truck tractor during
all the time the same is operated on the highways of this state. Any truck
or truck tractor for which the owner has declared the maximum gross weight to be
more than twelve thousand (12,000) pounds shall have painted or otherwise
durably marked on said vehicle on both sides thereof, in plain letters not
less than two (2) inches in height and with not less than one-fourth (1/4)
inch stroke, the gross weight for which said vehicle is licensed, and the
name and address of the owner or lessee thereof: Provided, That if the
division shall find that any insignia or trademark painted or otherwise
durably marked on any such vehicle is sufficient to properly show the gross
weight for which said vehicle is licensed and to identify the owner and
show the address of the owner thereof, the division may issue a permit
authorizing the use of such insignia or trademark: Provided further,
That a vehicle registered as a farm truck or truck tractor shall not be
required to be so painted or marked. When such painting or marking shall
become illegible, the same shall be repainted or remarked, as herein
required.
