License plates issued to vehicles regulated by the SCC included Commercial Trucks, Commercial Cars, Taxis, Buses, Driverless Cars (rental cars), and other commercial vehicles.
Commercial Truck
| From 1913 through mid-1923 all trucks received the same license plates as cars. Beginning July 1, 1923, trucks in commercial service were required to obtain special Commercial Truck license plates, a practice which continued through 1929. (During this period trucks in private use continued to receive car plates.) In 1930 all trucks, both commercial and private, were transitioned to a universal “Truck” plate. See the Truck page for more details on these. |

| The State Corporation Commission (SCC) of New
Mexico was created by the state constitution, and its first
commissioners were elected on November 7, 1911, two months prior to New
Mexico attaining statehood on January 6, 1912. Among other things, it
regulated the transportation by motor vehicles for hire over the public
highways of the state. On January 1, 1999 it, and the functions of
several other agencies, were folded into the newly created Public
Regulation Commission (PRC). Illustrated here is the September 1, 1943
edition of the laws and regulations pertaining to the aforementioned
business of the transportation by motor vehicles for hire at that time.
This publication measures 6" x 8¾", with 46 pages plus covers detailing
the operation of all aspects of such vehicles. License plates issued to vehicles regulated by the SCC included Commercial Trucks, Commercial Cars, Taxis, Buses, Driverless Cars (rental cars), and other commercial vehicles. |
