So I am interested in purchasing this toter truck for moving mobile homes that is located in Claysburg PA and need to get it to Atco, NJ. About 240 miles. Now a problem I have is I already have an older one and I am leased on with a company. They wont help me out unless I lease on with the truck I want to get. But I dont want to do that cause it needs couple injectors replaced and a few other minor things. So I dont want to lease that one on cause then I cant run any loads until I get it fixed cause it would knock my truck I have leased on now off the insurance.
So I am wondering how I could get it home on my own. I mean I am sure I would have to get somekind of insurance to get it home plus somekind of temp tag. Is it worth it to do it that way or does anyone have any other suggestions.

Dmv has a temp 30 day moving tag it’s like 60$ and you’ll need insurance you can add it to your other truck policy
Or you can switch it from one truck to the other but it’s gonna cost you some money
If you transfer it for a day or two get the truck home and before you pay tell your insurance company switch it back you don’t need it anymore you won’t have to pay the fee.
That’s what I just did.
And your ifta Just grab your ifta from your current truck and tape it to the windshield next to the temp tag -
Now here’s the options from my devil shoulder since you’re only driving a few miles
Get a temp tag if you want and just run it
Or don’t get anything and just run at night.singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
Talk to your insurance company, 'splain what you're doing, see if they might have an option for insurance to do this.

getting the insurance switched over is unfortunately not an option. Because I am leased with the company that registers and insures my truck, they wont do it unless I lease on with the truck I want to purchase. But dont want that until I do the needed repairs.
The driving at night time sounds like it maybe a good option. Unless I could get some kind of temp insurance on my own, I dont think I could do it on my own. I sure they would probably get me good on the insurance. -

Don’t over think this. Unless you’re financing the truck you don’t need anything besides some common sense and drive careful because you don’t have ins. so you don’t hit anyone. Otherwise you’re fine.
And in the future look into gettting your own policy. Liability, cargo, physical, so you don’t have to rely on others.
You’re going a short distance so I wouldn’t worry about. If it was cross country I would encourage you to get temp tag and ins -
