Section 94. Trucking permit

1. No vehicle shall be used in this state for
  the trucking or transportation of any  alcoholic  beverage  unless  such
  vehicle shall be registered with the liquor authority by a permit issued
  by it and shall have affixed thereto a sign to be approved by the liquor
  authority,  containing  the registration number of such vehicle. In lieu
  of such sign a vehicle may have in its cab a  photostatic  copy  of  its
  current  permit  issued by the Authority. This provision shall not apply
  to vehicles owned or hired and operated by a licensee.
    2. Such permit shall be issued for the calendar year,  and  may  cover
  one  or  more trucks and in cities having a population of one million or
  less to duly licensed taxicabs used to deliver only wine or liquor  sold
  at retail and the fee therefor shall be at the rate of fifty-one dollars
  per truck or such duly licensed taxicab per year.
    2-a.  In  lieu of such permits, the liquor authority may issue a fleet
  permit for an annual fee  of  sixty-four  hundred  dollars.  Such  fleet
  permit shall cover any and all vehicles owned or hired, and operated, by
  such  permittee.  In  lieu  of  the  sign required to be affixed to each
  vehicle pursuant to subdivision one of this section,  the  holder  of  a
  fleet  permit  may have in the cab of such vehicle a photostatic copy of
  its current fleet permit issued by the authority.
    3. If such application is made after July first in any one  year,  the
  fee shall be one-half of the annual fee herein provided for.
