Effective June 7, 2012 (today) anyone renewing a vehicle with a B plate reflecting a weight of 10,000 pounds or less is eligible to replace the B with a class A plate. Which means the 10,000 pound or less trucks can now have a Friends Of Coal license plate. Please be cautious in replacing a B to an A plate as it must cover both the vehicle and any additional weight that you might haul or on a trailer you might be pulling.
The original FOC license plate application will be used in ordering and still must go through the WV Coal Foundation. If you have any questions please let us know.
