Best Answer

If it's a class of vehicle which is rated at under 26,000 lbs. GVWR and not carrying either more than 15 passengers or hazardous material, or a recreational vehicle, then normally, no. However, some states may require it regardless, but will have signs posted at ports of entry indicating such.
