    Hello Drivers: Could anyone tell me what is needed to drive a purchased truck back from IL. to NY besides liability. Is there a temporary registration for such a thing? I'm still waiting for my Authority and would like to drive it back rather that have it shipped and don't want to get caught without the right stuff for the move.
    Thanks for you expertise.:biggrin_2558:

    also dont forget your log book, i stopped at a scale and asked some q's prior to my trip, and was told to log my trip with the truck.
