Buying truck out of state and driving it back home?

{"text":"What is the procedure for this? I’m guessing I’ll get temporary insurance to drive it back home and call my state’s IFTA/IRP to pay for IFTA beforehand or something like that? Also, could I use this same truck to drive to South Dakota and pick up my trailer, and then head back home (without a load)?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

","text":"I’m gonna go with the newest used Freightliner Cascadia with a DD15 engine. I’m familiar with the truck and know how to work on it. From what’s available, it looks like it will be a 2020 Freightliner with about 200k miles and from out of state. Texas doesn’t have much. The 2021 Freightliners are not available, although there are a couple of them in Canada.","replyToPid":428435}
