TRAILER

This class has a fiscal year of July 1st through June 30th, hence the "JUN" as the expiration on the plate.  The stacked "T/x" is the plate code for trailers with the "x" being the weight code.  Weight code "A" is for light trailers and the design (at least as of the "Abe" design) is similar to passenger plates.  Higher weight codes are similar to the commercial trucks with solid color designs.

According to the Illinois website (as of February 4, 2012), the weight classes are listed below.  It is not known when this list was established, so I don't know if there are any differences between the list and what was available prior to 2012:

"A" = under 3,000 lbs.
"B" = 3,001 to 5,000 lbs.
"C" = 5,001 to 8,000 lbs.
"D" = 8,001 to 10,000 lbs.
"E" = 10,001 to 14,000 lbs.
"G" = 14,001 to 20,000 lbs.
"K" = 20,001 to 32,000 lbs.
"L" = 32,001 to 36,000 lbs.
"N" = 36,001 to 40,000 lbs.
