Box Truck from NJ to FL...

So dad is gifting me his 2008 Mitsubishi FK260 18' box w/ lift-gate. It's currently sitting in NJ patiently waiting for me to drive her down to FL where I live.
DMV is a nigthmare up there for the moment so title was sent down for me to register in FL.
I've searched for days on how to do this cheapest way, as liability insurance is $$$.
Read many posts here, got a few ideas but still dead end.
I've called several agencies to get it covered as private vehicle, just to drive it home, but every SINGLE agency asked what will I do after it's here. As soon as I say run loads or whatnot, I get a commercial quote $2-3k down. I plan to get my CDL in a the next month or so, and will likely end OTR, if anything for the experience. Intention is O/O within 2yrs.
SIGH...
Went to local tag agency today and was told vehicle must be present to transfer title.
How? I can't drive it there w/o plates!

Posting for suggestions and for anyone else to find down the road from Google.
New plan is to tell them I'm converting it to an RV once here.
Plan C is to spend a couple days in NJ straightening this out...
Joined OOIDA but I can't quite understand their site for squat, lol...
Not sure if it would be worth it to run local for a bit first, to cover the first few months I'd be training/OTR.
Late bloomer here, 41 and first child turns 1 next week!
Anyways, the box is basically serving as a buffer either before or after CDL training and maybe a down payment on tractor if I still have butterflies after OTR...

 

Firstly, I'm honored to get a response from a veteran here. Thank you.
I'm planning to tackle that later today, when I wake up lol. Never thought to toss in the sentimental part, tho it's true.
At the back of my mind I've played with the idea of converting a "short yellow bus" to a camper.
I will update later after the 2nd DMV here, otherwise I guess NJ it is. I'd have to fly up anyways, just I'd be there a day or two more.
Also looking at DOT number as no lettering on the side may make my trip back extra long per dad,
however, a temp tag and maybe temp IRP permit should keep things smooth.

 

Thanks. My State Farm agent informed me that State Farm does not insure CMVs as personal use, with much attitude I might add.

Correct. GVWR is listed as 25,900lbs.

I was under the impression that OOIDA was a "One-Stop-Shop". It's appears to be more like a directory. I already paid for the yearly membership as sooner or later, I'll be driving some kind of truck, lol.

Per the NJ MVC page here: NJ MVC | Temporary Non-Resident Registration
I need to fill out form BA-49 located at any Motor Vehicle Agency.
There is also a fillable PDF for New Jersey "Bill Of Sale".
Insurance information is listed below.

Pops vehicle is not currently registered. I believe it is plain on both sides. If anything I'll strip lettering once I get there Wednesday.

Story time: I got 'er dun..!!

1. Called my State Farm agent who advised that State Farm does not insure CMVs for personal use.
2. Revisited Progressive for online quote. VIN not accepted until I called and was transferred to Commercial policy side. I was then advised that Progressive does not write CMV for personal use policies in FL. I was given 2 agencies to contact who may help.
-Statewide 305-233-4611 - spoke to Teresa, due to hurricane policy will be sent in Monday.
-Martinez Assurance 305-235-9067 -could not quote until Monday.
3. Statewide was able to find a policy with.... **drum-roll** Progressive Commercial lol:
-PIP 10k
-BI 10k per person, 20k per accident
-Property 10k
*Liability only: $230 down and 162 monthly & $500 deductible**
*w/ Collision/Comprehensive: $310 down - $218 monthly*** & $500 deductible**
**$1000 deductible saved only $3 monthly
**insurance shows claim I made when an Ex was run off road by someone going wrong way and never stopped. Claim is 2 months shy of 3yrs, so may come down lower. Currently paying $196 monthly for a 2004 Accord EX sedan!
***likely to cancel comprehensive or "pause" insurance entirely by end of 1st month here.

Due to Hurricane Isaias, no Comprehensive can be written until Monday.
Insurance begins Wednesday 12:01am, the day I fly into NJ.
Pops says I can get Title in my name same day, which is requirement of form BA-49, along with their weird 6pts of ID verification: I've got Passport +4, SSN card +1 and Property Tax Bill +1. Finally, Proof of Insurance and a $5 fee.
Note to self: get utilities out of 1st wife's name, it's been 9yrs!

Thanks to all for your help and/or input, suggestions and time; we did it!
