Getting the truck home

The dealer will give you a temp tag to get it home. OOIDA sells a temporary insurance product to get you home. It is not bobtail insurance, you can only buy that when you have an active lease to a carrier. Once you pay your insurance and it is active, you can get your plate and run intrastate, if your home state doesn't require intrastate authority as well.

As far as aero trucks go, it won't be nearly as important pulling a triaxle step as finding a truck that is built well and spec'ed to pull heavy loads. A 12 wide , 70,000 pound piece isn't going to get good fuel mileage no matter the truck. The key is to charge accordingly.

 

if you want fuel economy, pull a van.

open deck freight is non aerodynamic and won't give you good mileage no matter what truck you drive. and i've been in kw's, petes, and fl's. with both detroits and isx's. although, the fl don't do bad with the right blend of fuel.

 

I bought mine in another state and the dealer had it delivered to my location for $600. Didn't require me to do anything until after I took delivery. Check with the dealer, they may be able to help you out.
