Like the title says. I'm buying a pete in Kentucky and am bobtailing "not for hire" cross country to Alaska. Because of time restraints I may have to ship it out of seattle.
My questions are many. What do I need to do as far as permitting and dot numbers and do I need to keep a log even though I'm not for hire and bobtailing

Because of time restraints I may have to ship it out of seattle. that's a 5 to 6 day voyage ( loading , secure it , unloading ) for auto transport ships depending on the weather and sea conditions , its only around 3300 miles from Kentucky to Alaska so just as easy time wise to drive it.

i use my trk to pull my rv and just cover my numbers with a sign that says not for hire and put on my personal non apportioned plate and drive all over the country never have been bothered. when i go back to work just uncover my company info and put plate back on and go to hauling freight. i would call some states or even dealer where your buying truck and get specifics. i would think if you put private vehicle not for hire and a non commercial plate.you should be ok

YOu may still need commercial plates (or a temp), insurance, numbers and paper work from where you bought it from to prove you own it. Not for Hire doesn't mean much - it is still a commercial vehicle even if you are going to use it for an RV or for personal use.

Do you live where you are headed?
If so, can you log it as personal conveyance home?
