CloudTrucks can help you get plates for your truck through our plates partner. This partnership makes it easier for drivers to get plates a lot faster!
Drivers will work with our Onboarding & Customer Success teams to get plates. The entire process takes up to two weeks, from requesting plates to receiving them. Don't worry, you'll receive a 45-day registration with your cab card, so you don't need your physical plates to start driving with us.
How to request plates
If you'd like to purchase plates through our plates partner, please fill out the form linked below.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your Onboarding Specialist.
What to expect
Once you've submitted your plates request form and added any additional documents needed, you will sent the following items in around 24-48 hours:
- A digital copy of your cab card to get you started
- A 45-day registration so you can start driving before you receive physical plates
And within 10-14 days from submitting your plates request form, you'll get:
- An apportioned Indiana plate, to be installed in front of the tractor
Plates payment plan
If you choose to register your truck and purchase plates through CloudTrucks, we'll charge you $50 per week for them.
Frequently asked questions
What if I am not listed as the owner on the title because I am leasing the truck?
We can register the truck using that title but we need the leasing agreement between you (the driver) and the company you are leasing from. In some cases the lease requires a release for you to lease-on to another carrier. And we will need a notarized Power of Attorney executed. We will be able to advise if this is necessary.
What if I am purchasing a truck and the title is not in my name?
If you are buying the truck your name needs to be on the title. The official title can take a few weeks to get from your state, however when you bring the bill of sale & released title to the DOL, you will receive an official Title Application which can be used in lieu of the title.
What if my title is in my business name rather than my actual name?
We will need you to also upload your legal business documents to tie you as an individual to the business so that we can successfully register your truck.
Can I use the Title Application to register the truck through CloudTrucks?
Yes! An official Title Application listing you or your business name will be successfully registered.
Can I use a title that is signed over on the back indicating change of ownership?
No, if the title is signed over (released) to indicate a transfer of ownership but the title itself is not in your name, you will need to take it to the DMV to be processed.
Does it matter if I have a lienholder on my title? If there is a lienholder and the title is not in my name what else do I need to provide?
The Lienholder can be listed alongside your name or business name as the registered owner and still be successfully registered.
How long does it take to get my cab card back? How long does it take to receive the physical plate?
It will take around 24-48 hours to receive your cab card and 45 day registration once we receive the proper documents to successfully register. If we do not receive the right documentation, we will need to get those ASAP.
