§ 63.31. Owner-operator vehicles.
(a) Proportional registration. Owner-operators who lease their vehicles to carriers on a long-term basis may proportionally register their vehicles in one of the following methods:
(1) Registration may, at the option of the lessor, be in the name of the lessee-carrier, but shall also indicate the owner-operator’s name. Allocation of fees shall be based on the records of the carrier. The registration plate and cab card shall be the property of the lessee. The carrier shall, within 30 days of a transfer, reimburse the lessor for the value of the unused portion of any registration transferred to a newly acquired vehicle when the lease is canceled between the parties if the lessor had been charged for the registration fee by the carrier.
(2) Registration may, at the option of the lessor, be in the name of the lessor. Allocation of fees shall be based on the records of the lessor. The registration plate and cab card shall be the property of the lessor.
(b) Trip permits. Vehicles of owner-operators which are not proportionally registered or not fully registered in a jurisdiction having a separate reciprocity agreement with the Commonwealth shall be subject to the trip permit requirements of this chapter.
