I bought this trailer at auction for $1,200:
1981 Fruehauf 42' Flatbed, vin 4PO4224BF096301.
It is in Iowa and I am based in Illinois.
The problem is that they will give me the title during pick-up. So, at the time of pick-up it will not yet be registered or insured in my name.
Can I send my driver to pick it up and drive it from IA to IL, and use the title and purchase documents to explain why there is no license plate? Would that be legal as a "fresh purchase"? I know that it is legal for cars.
It would be driven/towed without any cargo.
Thanks
