    Does anyone know if I can transport my own rig (interstate, deadheading) if I display "not for hire" in the windshield?

    I have a CDL, and proper insurance.

    Depending on the state, you may need a temp tag. Most dealers will give you one, or you can get one from most states' DMV with proof of bobtail insurance.

    Nope, just a "Temporary Registration" or Trip Permit, good for X number of days.

    By transporting, you mean driving it right ? Yes, you can drive your own rig down any highway in any state at any time.......as long as you're legal. As in, registration/insurance etc. What is point "a" and point "b" ?

    I just transported a truck to lease it on with a company and I just bought a temp tag. Only cost me $10 here. It is not legal to transport it with not for hire on it to get around plates. Most will let you slide but you never know so its better just to get a temp tag they are inexpensive and CYA.

    I have found that I can get a temp/ transit plate locally easy enough.The truck is going to have an oregon DOT inspection. I think this will all work just fine. Thank you.
