I am putting together a business plan for my own authority. I have a question.
I can't get authority without insurance;
I can't get insurance without a truck;
How do I get the truck home that I buy while I wait on the insurance and the authority paperwork? I am in Indiana and I know they have trip permits, but if I buy the truck in another state, do I need a trip permit for every state traveled along with some sort of insurance bond?

Thanks baha. Is there any particular company you would deal with? Or should I go direct to my state?
-
Or, you can buy a truck during business hours and call your insurer and add it. As I think I understand it, you don't need "authority" unless the truck is being "used" for "business". -
1st call your IRP office they can do it online app. once you have a acc. set up with them.
EverLuc Thanks this. -
buy a truck from dealer and park there until you get ur authority, insurance and plates. is that ok if dealer say ok?

I am looking up Indiana IRP and what it takes. They have a 40 page document to sift through. Being it could take 6 weeks for the authority to come, then the registration process with the state, it could be 8-10 weeks before it is all complete and I have stickers and plates to put on the truck. Not sure if a dealer would be good with that or not. I can ask upfront though. I think If I can get a trip permit and limited trip insurance that would be the best deal. Then I can get the truck home and get it ready to roll.
