Transporting an out of state used truck purchase?

I'm not sure if you are leased on with anybody or not but heres my story. Im leased on with Landstar. Once I had the truck approved and insured I had to drive it back home and have the title changed over to my name BEFORE I could get the temp tag or IFTA or 2290. So here's how you get the truck home........You tape the bill of sale to your passenger side window and drive home. At least thats how you do it going from KY to OH. If you have any questions just call the BMV/DMV's in the states you are traveling through. Although my experience when dealing with those offices are like dealing with simpletons. So screw it im sure the "Stateys" would know. Just call them. Good Luck.

 

when i bought my truck i bought it in south Dakota and drove it back to north Dakota. with a bill of sale in hand and title in hand and temp insurance card i got in it and drove it home, legal or not don't really know, i wasn't hassled or asked any questions. and no scale houses on the route i took.

 

i bought mine in Spokane wash put bobtail on it drove it home to nc no tag sd made me buy temp fuel and un reg permits not much,dont know if it was legal or not

 

One thing, if you call states and ask them, expect to pay something. They will say anything to collect extra $$ even if it's not necessary. Your bobtail ins and proof of ownership is what will make you legal.

 

Exactly
You show up in a gov. Office they will think of a fee.

 

Well I ended up buying a peterbilt in upstate NY. It's about a 3hr drive to my house. I'm thinking a midnight stroll would be key

 

I have a truck and trailer in Fl want to drive to MD. Fl said they have a temp tag but cant go out of state with it. Can you pull a mt trailer with a temp tag?

 

Buy a trip tag, Have Ins. About it.
