Buying out of state trailer

yes... well atleast in arizona i know you can purchase a temp tag to print out.. not sure how other states do it

 

I would have him make a phone call to the state it is going to be registered in and see what he needs to do.

 

NJ has 4 year registrations.
One of our lift gate trailers 'lost' it's plate at a little over 2 years.

When the renewal arived, I gave the manager a card for MVC to go get a new plate before I retired.

The other day I was asked about it, again, that makes over 3 years use in North NJ, NYC and Long Island without a license plate.

Your mileage may vary but LEO will usually focus on the tractor reg and insurance and ignore the trailer.

 

Unless you know the buyer , it's better to wait until the lender gets the money and then for you to sign a Power of attorney for the lein holder to sign your name on the title to be sent to your buyer?

 

What’s his home state?

 

No.

I once pulled a just purchased used tanker trailer with nothing but whatever papers the dealer gave with the trailer. From New Jersey all the way along 80 to California.

Nobody stopped me.

I pulled 3 brand new flatbeds from manufacturer in Arkansas I think it was to Montana. Nothing but the papers.

Nobody stopped me.


One could argue that the 2 flats stacked on the one being pulled could be freight.

The trailers were empty. No loads were pulled till they got registered. And numbered.

My understanding with the flats company was they had to be numbered to be legal. I don't know if that's a otr thing or what. Half the trailers I'm pulling now don't have numbers but they don't leave the state.
