    I do not know who you are talking to but I was able to find exemptions that even the DMV managers and senior CHP commercial officers were not aware of.

    So what do you intend to use the truck for?

    What are your current instance limits on both the truck and your personal auto policy?

    Is the vehicle registered to you or another entity?

    What is your current weight sticker?

    Is this vehicle of historic significance?

    How many of this model were sold in CA in that year?

    The truck will be used like a passenger car. I will take it to shows and events.

    My current insurance policy is a "non-trucking policy." Per my insurance company this is base coverage that insures the truck while it is down or in a shop. My insurance company also told me I could drive just the truck to repair shops and around as long as I stay within a 100 mi radius of my home. The coverage also covers up to $750,000, which is the minimum required by CHP to get a MCP. When I told my insurance company to complete the DMV MCP form they told me I needed more coverage, a "trucking policy," which is like $4K a year.

    So basically my insurance company wrote me a policy that is useless because I need a MCP to drive my truck per the law, but I'm sure there is a way around this which is why I'm searching.

    Truck is registered in my name.

    Weighs 15,100 (Its registered at 20K).

    Historic sig, no.

    How many sold, I don't know.

    I have never heard of an insurance policy like that.

    Since you are paying weight fees you are classified as commercial.

    Have you contacted gulfway about insurance?

    It might be easier and cheaper in the long run to find a used condo sleeper and get the truck registered as an RV. That would also exempt you from carb.

    Gulfway? No, but I will.

    Not putting a sleeper on it :)

    You need a CA no before you can get the permit. CHP will give you the CA no so you can obtain the MCP from DMV. I attached both applications for you to this reply.
