    Hey all, I bought a truck in California again. And I will pick it up next week. I am in TX, the truck is in CA. What special permit will I need so I will drive right through the scales? My last experience I got a citation for no displaying my DOT number. Should I just make a sign that says Not for Hire? Thanks in advance!!!!!!

    Easy, go around the scales or bring number stickers with you for whatever company you're going with. If its your own it'll be a lot easier

    Do you have a truck now? Piggy back it, wait I guess being intrastate that wouldn't work either. Call your state and ask them they might have more info. Or call Cali you might get info from them about s permit. Depending on how much that costs it might be worth your while to have someone ship it for you.

    Contact a driveway outfit or vehicle transport company......

    Costs vary so shop around and let them handle it under their authority and insurance


    Otherwise just take the backroads and see the countryside

    Ok, just did it like this. For every state that is involved. I took my states bill of sale and filled out a title transfer. In Arizona I bought a general use permit before going into the scale. They asked me for my dot numbers but I didnt know them. :D I purchased that permit for 15 dollars and I was on my way. Since it was a private use permit. I didnt need to stop at the scales or keep a log book. :D

    Next time just buy a temp. apportion tag before you go. All you need is proof of insurance. I've done it and you can even pull a trailer with it.
