    Default How come....

    USPS cars/trucks don't have license plates? They are govt right? I can't think of any other vehicle that doesn't have plates.

    UPS trucks in Colorado generally have fleet plates. Some other states have dedicated UPS tags.

    True, but UPS is a corporation whereas USPS is .fed. I thought even federal govt vehicles required license plates.

    Actually, I have not the slightest idea what laws govern plates on USPS vehicles. And I am at work so I don't have time to look.

    I consider it saving us taxpayers money. Between them and Amtrak they haven't operated in the Black in how long?

    Yeah, so they have numbers posted on all their vehicles. So the only real reason I would want .gov vehicles to have plates is a readily available unique identifier just in case they are used in a crime. But Plates can be removed. Decal Vehicle ID numbers on the paint job is a little harder.

    So not having plates saves us money. The .gov is not going to pay its own DMV fees to register its own fleet of vehicles. The reason why the military's vehicles had plates when I was in is the plates correspond to the GSA contract the vehicle was bought and maintained on.
