When does my transporter license expire? (1) A motor
vehicle transporter license shall expire twelve consecutive
months from the date of issuance ((for purposes of staggered
licensing. During the initial licensing period the renewal dates
shall be established by a random alphabetical selection
commencing with a minimum license period of six months, extended
month by month to a maximum of eighteen consecutive months as
determined by the random selection process. Upon completion of
the initial staggering of these licenses each subsequent renewal
period shall be twelve consecutive months from the established
date of the staggered issuance)).
(2) Motor vehicle transporter license plates shall expire on the same date as the license expires.
[Statutory Authority: 1985 c 109 §§ 2, 4, 6 and 8, RCW 46.80.140, 46.70.080 [46.79.080], 46.70.160, 46.76.070 and 46.16.225. 86-08-028 (Order DLR-091), § 308-80-015, filed 3/26/86.]

(2) For personal transportation.
(3) By any one other than the licensee or a bona fide employee who is carried on the licensee's payroll records.
