    Buying a tractor out of state and will be driving home about twelve hrs....whats the story with bobtailing home legally besides a temp tag and Bobtail insurance?. Will pass through IL,IN,OH,PA,NJ...Do get a transit permit or something? for fuel tax etc?. I assume standard log book rules apply unless there is an exemption for just using it as a personal vehicle to transport home.

    Thanks for any advice

    When I got my first truck I was pulled over by the GDOT. They will look for Logbook but mine was not done and did not fine me just told me to catch it up since I was not leased yet to a company.
