HMT 999
Report a new high History

Andrew Osborne reports that Irwin-Hodson manufactured Newfoundland plates in a completely redesigned base that is the third variety of the flag design. "Canada" has been removed from the plates and the new style began at HHA 001. The first batch of Veteran plates was made by Waldale, numbered HHB 001 through HHB 999. The HHB alpha was skipped in the Irwin-Hodson contract, as the contract started at HHA 001, and on up to HJG 999, skipping HHB plus a couple of other alphas because of certain letters they do not want to use. The bulk of Veteran plates are on the Irwin-Hodson contract, and are numbered HJL 001 to HJP 999, which is an extension of where the Irwin-Hodson made car plates will end. The bottom line is that there will be two varieties of passenger plates made by Irwin-Hodson, Commercial plates made by Waldale, Commercial plates appearing on cars, and two varieties of Veteran plates on the road. The HLx series is a continuation of the HHx and HJx type from Irwin-Hodson.

The current high has Waldale dies.

The Flag plate ended at HMT-999.

The letter U is omitted.

Report a new high History

Per Manny Jacob, this base was issued to Apportioned vehicles beginning in 2001 with the PRT series. In 2002 the series advanced to PRV and the word "APPORTIONED" was added following Newfoundland and Labrador's 2001 entry into the Canada/US International Registration Plan (IRP). Both plans involve sharing of heavy truck and bus registration fees with other provinces and US states based on actual distances travelled. This base continued through 2006 and the PRW series. Manufactured by Waldale.
