Process to transport used truck from Kansas to WA State.

He can't get that without proof of insurance at the DMV.

 

Correct. But the Intransit Permit will get him there without a licence plate.

 

Intransit permit aka temporary tag. If you do get stopped by the DOT make sure you tell em that your intention is to register the truck as a private vehicle or RV...that way they will not try to charge you for a fuel tax permit. Montana is bad for that I have found from personal experience.

 

Ask the guy yer buyin it from if he can get the tag for you...save ya runnin around there. And yer welcome. It can sometimes be a complicated process if ya dont have all yer ducks lined up...but if ya do, its a breeze. I have imported 4 trucks from the US over the last 5 years

 

MOST TRUCK DEALERS SELL THEM. Or even at a Ritchie Bros, Auction you can get one.

 

Sounds like it will be an fairly smooth transaction for ya. The recall letter doesnt have to be done before you pass thru customs, but once you import it n CDN customs puts their stamp on it then you have 45 days to apply for your RIV form otherwise they will make you export it back to the Us

 

Canadian Tire are licenced to do the inspection .. Make sure daytime running lights work.

 

I wrote directly to the manufacturer for my recall letter and had it the next day. That is where it ultimately comes from anyhow.
