Hey everyone. I've been browsing the site and there's a ton of useful info here. I'm looking at buying a new(to me) Pete 379. I live in Tennessee, and the truck is in Florida. I don't have my DOT#, IFTA, insurance, or tag yet. What is the best way to go about getting the truck back home without getting hassled by DOT? Can I get a temporary tag/insurance? I haven't contacted the dealer yet because it's after their business hours, but I have sent them an email. Thanks in advance for the help.

The dealer will give you a temp plate that you can use to bob tail home with, you will need to provide insurance.

The dealer temporary tag will work just fine as long as you don't have a trailer attached. I doubt that they would bother you, but you can just take your paperwork inside and show them. I have never had a problem with a temporary tag. I have even taped a copy of the cab card to the right side windshield before receiving my tag and not had a problm.
