Buying Truck out of state- Elog needed?

Paper logs are fine.

 

Paper logs are fine, you have 8 days to run without an ELD.

As for renting a trailer and haul a load you will need to have the truck covered under an active DOT/MC number, insured and properly registered -or trip permits.

The temporary that most dealers issue is a unladen in-transit permit, also know as a "hunter's permit" in some states. It is not legal to haul loads on these temporary permits.

 

Look at the cost of transport as part of the price of the truck. Get it home, get all the paperwork done, then worry about making money with it.

 

Less stress bobtail home get legal first. Or handle paperwork via Notorizing or ? Whatever they require. You will need title transferred to get IRP and show up with plate ( mc# dot# ins) also

 

Why use paper logs when there is the KeepTruckin' app? I forgot a long time ago how to do a paper log. That's probably going to bite me someday.

 

To DOT there is no diffrence in an app like KeepTrucking and paper. KeepTrucking is simply more convienent as it does all the math. One still has to print out the paper if the LEO wants it in paper form. Otherwise it's the same as not having a lig at all.

To get a new truck home, actual paper is easier than toting around a printer.

 

You also will need a signed lease agreement with a active carrier to get your IRP. Even if you are the carrier you need a lease agreement with your carrier business.

 

First time I heard that never been asked for 1 but have a signed agreement just in case. I don’t think he needs one from himself

 

Needed one in TN, with my own authority.
