Form DSD 27-A. Permit to Use Dealer or Temporary Transport Plate on Trucks or Tractor Trucks - Virginia

Form DSD 27-A - Permit to Use Dealer or Temporary Transport Plate on Trucks or Tractor Trucks is used by motor vehicle dealers in Virginia to permit bona fide prospective purchasers or their authorized agents to use a dealer or transport plate on trucks or tractor trucks. This permission is granted for a specified period of time or mileage, even if the vehicles are laden (carrying a load).

The parties involved in this form are motor vehicle dealers, bona fide prospective purchasers, authorized agents, and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. The form consists of sections where the dealer must provide their business information, including their name, address, and contact details. Additionally, the form requires details about the prospective purchaser or authorized agent and the specific trucks or tractor trucks to which the permit applies.

Important fields in this form include the dealer's business information, details of the prospective purchaser or authorized agent, and the specific trucks or tractor trucks being permitted for temporary use with the dealer or transport plate. The form may also include instructions for correctly completing the permit application and ensuring that the permit duration or mileage limit is accurately specified.

For example, a motor vehicle dealer has a prospective purchaser who needs to transport goods using one of the dealer's trucks to evaluate its suitability for their business needs. The dealer issues Form DSD 27-A, specifying the period of time or mileage during which the truck can be temporarily used with the dealer's plate for evaluation purposes. Once the permitted time or mileage is exceeded, the truck must return to the dealership or obtain proper registration.

Both forms involve temporary plate usage for specific purposes, but Form DSD 27-A is for dealer or transport plates used on trucks or tractor trucks, while Form DSD 27-B is for financial institution drive-away plates used for test driving.
