§511.2. Temporary permit for unregistered trucks
A. It is the intent of the legislature in enacting this Section to comply with the provisions of the International Registration Plan by providing a temporary "Hunter's Permit" to owners or operators of trucks while they seek employment.
B. An owner or operator of a truck who has terminated a lease and who has surrendered the apportioned license plate, as provided in the International Registration Plan authorized by R.S. 47:511(B), may operate a truck upon public highways when it is titled in this state but not registered provided that prior to the operation, the owner or operator has secured from the commissioner of motor vehicles or a duly appointed agent a temporary letter or permit as provided in this Section. The permit shall authorize the operation of such truck for a period of not more than thirty days. The permit shall be issued for a registered gross weight not to exceed the empty weight of the vehicle and cannot be used to transport goods or carry a load. Prior to the issuance of such permit, the applicant must provide satisfactory proof that such truck has insurance with limits of liability as provided in R.S. 32:900(B). Such truck must display an official certificate of inspection and approval as provided by R.S. 32:1301 et seq.
C. If, upon inspecting a vehicle, it is found that the vehicle has no temporary permit, the weights and standards police officer or other enforcement officer of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections may impound the vehicle until a valid permit or license plate is secured.
