How to bring truck home?

TRANSPORT BASE PLATES, they have companies that are issued a plate similar to a dealer plate which is used for transport only. The RV hotshotters, and new truck delivery guys have them. I didn't say any joe blow can take their apportioned plates off and stick them on another truck and be legal

 

I already did, people are too ignorant to listen.

I phoned DOT before making my trip, talked to my DOT inspector friend, and filed for proper authority before bobtailing my truck 2000 miles from the seller to my shop.

 

Reading comprehension. Work on it. He said "transport plates", same as the RV transportation companies or car dealer tags. They are intended to be swapped around from vehicle to vehicle in the pursuit of the business...be that selling, transporting, or whatever. Even going back to my post that got your panties in a bunch, I was talking about horse people with RV tags on their LQ trailers getting in trouble...which is why I put weighted tags on my horse trailer to avoid that situation. Doesn't have to be commercial tags, as long as the registered weight is sufficient. Believe me...we THOUGHT about saving $100/year and getting the RV tags...but it would limit what we could LEGALLY do with the trailer.

 

I answered your question. Has nothing to do with "real" authority which I have. All you need is a temp tag with proof of insurance. What don't you understand?

 

I gave up bro

 

So did you have a temp tag?

 

temp plate and insurance you should be fine. ooida offeres a temp insurance policy for a flat fee pretty sure they can take care of your temp permits as well. if not they can tell you what you need to do.

my first truck i bought one state away and i just winged it home. the second one i bought from much further away and i got the seller to drive it too me. got a temp plate for him and insurance and he drove it to me for basically what it would have cost me to go drive it myself without loosing a few days of my time.

 

The comment about scale avoidance. I saw a guy with a brand new truck get $750 dollars worth of tickets after they pulled his truck into the inspection bay in Maryland.
