    Location?


    Truck has to go straight down the road with no vibrations, my company truck gets a shudder at 70. Mph. Drives me crazy.

    Garage says I am not supposed to be going 70 anyways because truck is governed at 68.

    Yep on the cruise. But on the pedal it's as fast as you want to go.

    You won’t get asked for any of that if let’s set you get pulled in. For this truck I just transferred the insurance from my other truck. It was a 3000 mile trip. It was more to protect me if something was to happen.

    It's less than 3 hours away, get in it and drive it. Tell you what, I will be in Toledo Wednesday, come pick me up and I will drive it for ya. All I need is the keys, enough fuel and you buy me dinner. I haven't bought a temp tag in 20 years. I have bought cars, pickup trucks, semi's, and motorcycles over 600 miles away. If your really worried wait till dark. Ohio, Michigan don't do nothing after dark except sit in the scale house. You will be going up 23 anyhow. Take the plate off the company truck your driving and use it. If your going to O/O, sometimes you have to think outside the box.

    I didn't notice it in the replies so far...
    Have you called a couple tow companies to see what they would charge? Might surprise you on the price when it's a non emergency move.
