I need advice, purchasing a truck from Chicago how to register it in Nevada?

Get the title and register it. You dont need the truck there.

 

In Pa a certified inspection mechanic does it for us to verify weight & vin. Is that how they do it in NV. If so do you know any mechanics that will help if not it's going to cost you.

 

Why would they need to do that?

Never heard of anyone checking the vin unless it is a salvage title or a new title application for a vehicle that is never been titled.

All I do is go to the closest DMV (actually it is called secretary of state) and transfer the title then get my plate.

Why are you thinking you can travel back loaded, temp tags are not meant to be used for a loaded truck.

 

Some states do require a physical inspection by someone authorized by the DMV to do so, like Alabama. Nevada might be the same.

Getting an IRP is not the simplest thing to do. Most states require you go to the main DMV, IL, NJ, NY, IA to name a few. You have to pay the hvut, 2290 and sign up for IFTA. When you go, you don't just register, you open an account.

 

I'd try to register it in IL, if you can. In NV they may give you a nasty tax on that purchase. In Illinois, it is exempt. I know a few folks in NV and they escape with their registration to IL or OK (among others) not to pay a few grand when they purchase a truck. On the other hand, there is no state income tax...So it all depends. Perhaps, you may have a business in NV (not to pay state income tax) and still register the equipment in a different state?
