(c) The bureau, upon receiving:

shall issue to the person who submitted the application and fee two (2) certificates of registration and the license plates with numbers corresponding to the numbers of the certificates of registration.  A transport operator may obtain as many additional pairs of license plates as desired upon application and the payment to the bureau of the fee prescribed under IC 9-29 for each pair of additional license plates.

(d) A license plate or sign other than those furnished and approved by the bureau may not be used.

(f) A transport operator may not operate a vehicle or any combination of vehicles in excess of the size and weight limits specified by law.

(g) A license plate shall be displayed on the front and rear of each combination, and if only one (1) motor vehicle is transported, a license plate shall be displayed on both the front and rear of the motor vehicle.

(h) The bureau may not issue transport operator license plates to a transport operator who has been convicted of violating this section until the bureau is satisfied that the transport operator is able to comply with the requirements of this section.
