Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Department will issue a registration class sticker with the registration of a truck or truck-tractor in the registered gross weight classes 2 through 25 which does not display the proper registration class sticker or with the reclassification of a truck or truck-tractor in the registered gross weight classes 2 through 25.

 (b)  Combinations. The registration class sticker issued for a vehicle with a registered combination gross weight will indicate the registered gross weight class of the combination.
