Tranporting your truck from sales lot to home

quick answer: drive it

 

Get them to give you a temp tag. Take your log book with you, and make sure you have all the paper work including Insurance papers and drive it home. As long as you are bob tailing you will not have any problems. Just don't try to pull a load or the temp tag will be worthless.
I have purchased a number of trucks out of state and flew in to pick them up and drove them home and never had any problems at all.

 

Your welcome, hope you enjoy the new ride.

 

No tags needed. You have 72 hours to move the truck. Just keep your bill of sale.
But then again, all best are off when running through CA and the western states that require trip permits.

 

I had to buy fuel permits in each state, but besides that wasn't a big deal.

One state scale even green lighted me, but I knew I had to stop to get a permit. So, I actually stopped, on purpose, at a scale house, where I had the green light.

I shouldn't have, there were no other scale houses open the rest of the way in that state, but I didn't know that before.

 

im glad this post was brought up,...im in kentucky buying a truck from a private seller,and was wondering how to get it back to fl,...ive herd 2 stories,one saying i nee a temp tag and another saying just title and bill of sale? what do ya think??

 

Smart man, buying a truck in California, i look at prices all the time, and the trucks here just keep getting cheaper, If i lived out of state, i would buy one here for sure.
