    First truck and trailer I ever bought I flew to KC pickup truck, bobtailed to OKC to get trailer, loaded and drove back to Chicago. All with just a bill of sale. No questions asked, hindsight I would say I got lucky.

    Keep in mind though we're doing this with an unregistered truck. We're essentially asking permission to run in their states illegally.... I guess, because it's illegal to operate a commercial vehicle without registration. (so I'm told) We've got to get it back to TX to register it.

    The least of my concerns would be getting pulled over. It's the chicken coups seem to take special interest in trucks with no plate, DOT number and no IFTA sticker. When I brought my truck home (70 miles or so) I had to go through a scale. I had to pull around back where I got a full inspection. Boy, THAT was fun.

    On another note, TG & GR, make sure you log your trip up to get the truck. I'm told it's part of being "on duty" . Don't know how valid that is, but that's what a trooper told me.
