New Owner Operator, Decal question ?

Hello, I have a question guys. just baught my first truck and im fixing on driving it from my home state to an other state to get it leased to a carrier. Do i need to have any decals or not ? since im not leased at the moment. I don't have my own DOT # !!!

 

When I bought the one on my profile, i just made sure i had BT insurance, and a temp tag then drove it home. Didn't get pulled over, or pulled around the back of a scalehouse. Had that happened, I would have provided proof that I just purchased it, and was driving it home.

Edit: I put no decals or anything on it. If you want, for safety, slap on a "Not For Hire" on the side, as mine did say that (it was a farm truck)

 

You need the truck lettered you, dot numbers and fuel stickers once the truck is making money.

 

I obtained temp insurance, farm plates, and 10 day inspection waiver and drove it back to the farm. I did two trucks this way...

 

Get leased on before you go, put their signs on, let them provide a temp tag , then shoul help you if they are decent company

 

Put insurance on it and keep bill of sale with you and put er in the wind. No one will say anything.

 

Drive with no shirt on and sneeze on the window a lot. No one will stop you.
