I’m in North Idaho. I just purchased an old California transfer set(Dump truck and trailer). It was a CARB victim that was too cheap to pass up. The plan for now is use it for work on my own property. Hauling loads to dump, bringing in gravel for driveways, etc. Then in a year or 2 I might try to flip it for a profit.
My question is about getting it legal to use to go to the local quarries to pick up loads I will be using on my personal property. First off, I’ve had a Class A with all endorsements since 1999. So that’s a non-issue. And I have a valid medical card. I’m assuming I can just register it and get liability insurance? Is there anything else for personal use? If I ever want to cross state lines, does that change requirements? It would be to pick up loads of rock for personal use, not business related.

CARB and the DMV are two separate entities. So if the DMV lets you register it you’re good to go.

I’m in Idaho. No CARB here. Just wondering the minimum requirements for personal use.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
You own it you can drive it around as personal use and even go to church in it all you want. You set your own policy on that not the government. If You are not using it to make money from someone else it is considered not for hire. You are log exempt because it is your personal property being moved around wihin 150 air miles. If you haul a load for a friend or neighbor keep that on the down low. Lol!
Roberts450 and Bean Jr. Thank this. -

Register it for no more than you need to carry. If you only need 60,000 gross instead of 80,000 do that to save you money and taxes. Liabilty insurance is all you need. Gulfway insurance out of Florida is a good source to get full coverage on whatever you wanna value the truck at and they are reasonable. You can set your own value of what you think its worth like if you payed $20,000 you can value it at that or $25,000 to recoup a little loss or less. It is your call. Good company. I’ve used them for 20 years on all my classics.

Hauling your own stuff for your own property you should be able to buy a regular county tag and just up the gvw on the registration.
Basically you are the same as any farm truck out on the road. You can haul stuff to and from your own property as much as you want.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
