Are dump trucks not required to have license plates anymore?

I have seen 1 or 2 license plates on the back of dump trucks over the past few months. None of them have plates anymore.
I understand that they probably get ripped off when they dump some of the material. but how is this legal? if they cause an accident there is no way to identify them.

whenever i get behind one on the interstate i can picture something flying out the back and shattering my windshield and the driver just thinking well, no need to stop, no one can identify me

In Louisiana, a single license plate on the front is legal.
They are vocational trucks, the regulating bodies understand that the rear area of a dump truck is not a good place for a license plate.

Working brake lights, signals, and operable windshield wipers seem to be optional as well.
Bald tires that that throw treads at the first sign of heat are standard equipment, though.

There is no good place to mount a plate on the rear of a dump truck that hauls asphalt (for example) that would permit the palate to be readable after two or three loads. Concrete mixer trucks, dirt haulers, etc. to a lesser degree but the construction lobby is strong enough to get and keep this exception.

I see dump trucks and other crappy big trucks pulled over just about everyday....
They don't get away with as much as everybody thinks.

They will get shut down at weigh stations as well if their vehicle isn't road legal

It's possible some heavier trucks can be registered with the state and pay a one time fee to the state instead of getting tags every year in their county/parish.

Louisiana law reads:
The permanent registration license plate assigned to a trailer, semitrailer, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle shall be attached to the rear thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the permanent registration license plate assigned to any truck having a gross vehicle weight in excess of ten thousand pounds or to any dump truck may be attached to either the front or rear thereof. For the purposes of this Section, dump truck means any truck with a bed that raises to dump a load. The permanent registration license plate shall be so displayed during the current registration year, except as otherwise provided herein.

All commercial trucks have the company name on the side. You can find out who they are by that
