I live in WA and I'm purchasing a W900 that is in Dallas, TX
I plan on purchasing the bobtail 4 day insurance for the trip home, what are my options for driving a off hire truck like this for 3 to 4 days. Do I need to log since under the 8 day, can i legally drive more then 11 a day?
I plane on posting Not for Hire on the doors. When back home I'll be leased on to Chemical Transfer so under their authority.
Thanks for helping.

I see no issue.
Heck guys drive without licenses, or registrations everyday normally.truckdriver31 Thanks this. -
I would also hang “In Transit” signs on the front passenger side of the windshields and on driver and passenger door.
Also some states require a permit even if new truck. I know Utah and Nevada does not sure about the rest. -
Paper logs, but 11/14/30 minute break, etc etc still apply. Check the website for each state to find out if they want you to buy a temporary permit.

Did this very thing, except bought in Arizona and went to work in Texas.
Everyone told me I didn't need a log.
Paper log book is like $1.50 at the J.
I kept a log. Did 7 days prior off duty.
Trooper in Texas stopped me. He wasn't a dick or anything either.
First question, " You keeping a log?"
Yes sir right here. All the internet big shots told me I didn't need one.
"Got your license?"
Gave him my license.
He smiled big " Be right back, I'm gonna give you a clean Level 2."SoDel, Concorde and deathB4decaf Thank this. -
Just a thought, you could always hire a company to transport it to you so you don't have the hassle of getting everything in order first.

Is this a situation where, "Do you really want to go with the lowest bidder"?
