Transporting with Dealer Plates?

I've got a new Freightliner that I bought in NY and I want a company in PA to build and install the body. I've tried to put the cart before the horse and register the truck before the body goes on, but as you know, I can't.

So now I'm faced with how to get my truck to PA for the body install and back home without a registration.

My Freightliner dealer won't give me a dealer plate because he says there are legal implications when traveling out of state with dealer plates.

I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can have the body shipped to NY and installed but as with most things, it all comes down to the money. And its going to cost me a bunch more to do it this way.

Do I have any other options?

Thanks in advance for any opinions.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

Called DMV and they had nothing that would work out of state for me. If it was in state, they had an option, but no, they couldn't give me anything.

Freightliner Dealer wanted nothing to do with this. They told me all they had was Dealer Plates and they couldn't go that route. I think they took my money and now want to ditch me.

I tried for something like this and they wouldn't budge.

I did find a transport company that is affiliated with the Body Company, they offered a transport plate if I can add a rider on my insurance policy to cover the trip under their plate.

Hope that works. I'm a bit peeved at my Dealer for not being more proactive in helping with this. I kinda expected the help from them on this.

I've told them so.
