Manitoba Commercial

The Manitoba Commercial Truck (CT) plate has been issued in pairs starting at CAA series in 1997. Most of these plates were made by Waldale except for the CDA and CDB series plates made by Hi-Signs in the early-2000s. Corner blue outline bison changed to solid black in 2013 at CFP/CFR and sticker boxes ended at CHT/CHU changeover point. Some commercial plate classes are denoted with the blue on white Limited Use (LU), T (truck) or scarce Driveaway/transporter (DA) stickers.

While certain commercial trucks have been eligible for prorated X, PRP, CAVR or apportioned plates for decades, most prorated trucks used PSV plates with only the occasional prorate CT spotting. The old PSV category was abolished by legislation in March 2019 and final stocks of PSV plates were issued for a short time until finally depleted in 2020-21. Since then, trucks prorated under the International Registration Plan (IRP) use CT plates exclusively.

CT IRP plates are signified by a single blue on clear "APPORTIONED" sticker affixed to bottom center of front plate. Quickly destroyed by bugs, stones and frequent power washing, this sticker is missing from all but the most recent and low-mileage IRP plates. Further, the "orange peel" textured High Definition sheeting CT plates that started in 2019 at the CJC series do not offer an even surface for the poor quality sticker to adhere to. The plates themselves also subject to severe peeling and gravel damage, especially when used on IRP trucks.
