    can i get ifta decals before i register the truck? reason for this is I'm picking up a truck in memphis this week it will have temp plates.My company will find a one way trailer for me to get to sacramento.I will pick up the trailer that I will be renting there and put on their signs. When i get back to NY i will register my truck. just wanted to know if its possible to get ifta before i register my truck or should i just bobtail it home to register right away? Thanx

    If you are talking about dealer temp tags then you can't pull anything. The only way that you can pull something for hire is being registered. Well, you may be able to get trip permits but even then most states are looking for registration information.

    Hope your company is not telling you this is OK.

    BTW, make sure you have liability insurance on it. States look for this with bob tails with temp tags.

    No. IFTA requires registration before they will open the account and issue the decals / permit.
