    You don't need the title. If buying from a dealer, they'll give you a temp registration. Call your insurance company and add the truck. If this is your first truck and you don't have a policy yet, call OOIDA, they have a temporary policy that will get you home legally. Put the temp registration in the passenger side windshield and get to driving. I bought two trucks and trailers in MN and brought them home to FL.

    Seeing as its being transported as a personal vehicle, not leased to a company....does it need a federal inspection?

    Yes....a bill of sale and a temporary 7 day Tag plus bobtail insurance is enough to drive it home..(empty/ No commercial cargo of any type in it.)
