TRANSPORT BASE PLATES, they have companies that are issued a plate similar to a dealer plate which is used for transport only. The RV hotshotters, and new truck delivery guys have them. I didn't say any joe blow can take their apportioned plates off and stick them on another truck and be legal

I phoned DOT before making my trip, talked to my DOT inspector friend, and filed for proper authority before bobtailing my truck 2000 miles from the seller to my shop. -

Just bought the truck in MO, 750 miles away. Seller handled me the title and bill of sale. Insurance agent emailed me the bobtail insurance and I was on my way home. Took a bit longer route, passed by two weigh stations, which were closed, and made it home without any hassle by authorities, but my heart was beating much faster when I was passing state troopers
NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
So did you have a temp tag?
-
temp plate and insurance you should be fine. ooida offeres a temp insurance policy for a flat fee pretty sure they can take care of your temp permits as well. if not they can tell you what you need to do.
my first truck i bought one state away and i just winged it home. the second one i bought from much further away and i got the seller to drive it too me. got a temp plate for him and insurance and he drove it to me for basically what it would have cost me to go drive it myself without loosing a few days of my time.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
The comment about scale avoidance. I saw a guy with a brand new truck get $750 dollars worth of tickets after they pulled his truck into the inspection bay in Maryland.
