Alaksa is a little bit different when it comes to plates as far as larger commercial type vehicles are concerned.

Basically if you want to legally drive a big vehicle in Alaska you need an Alaskan plate regardless of where else its registered.
Other jurisdictions are similar, if you drive any vehicle to China, Egypt or Iran for example, they make you register it and give you a license plate when it crosses the border.
So really if you have a commercial vehicle you want to drive it to Alaska and then decide to drive it to those other destinations, you could up to have 5 license plates on your vehicle!
