Fuel permits needed bobtailing, "not for hire"?

The company I drive part time for is a manufacturing company. I only haul freight that belongs to the company. Whether it is finished product or components, it belongs to them. My truck is labeled PRIVATE CARRIER. In other words not for hire. Now the part you won't like, I have permits for every state I travel in and an IFTA sticker.
Maybe that helps you.

 

It's a couple threads going over this issue.

 

Are you a CMV? Figure that out, on the exact trip you are talking about. That answers all the questions.

 

Hey Floyd- I bought a truck from up-state Michigan going to Mass. Class 8. All I needed was "In Transit Sticker" on right front window. In Ohio, at a toll booth, a lady asked me for my sticker #. After that, never had a problem or another question. Two weeks ago I got an F450 from Minn. I had it delivered this time. On back window, was a 31 day transit sticker. Hope this helps. Mike

 

When I purchased my Class 8 truck in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and drove it to Canada this is what I did as well. I got a temporary registration and "In Transit" document from the dealer that was good to the border. I was bobtail and the truck was not registered for commercial use so there were no MC or DOT numbers, no business name, nor IFTA stickers. I didn't have any issues.

 

Same here 4Hire, no name, numbers, plates or stickers. Good system. I wish all my problems were that simple. Mike

 

This is correct bought a truck in TN drove back to MI 30 day tag with sale receipt. But you the owner must drive the truck it your equipment. Also you must drive it home only no out of route to pick a trailer or some other BS. Bobtail only they will burn you for moving equipment.

 

This is why knowledge is power and more proof that cops don't know ####. My nephew, a cop, checked into it for me. He handed me a whole list of stuff that his buddy at dot told him that I needed. I said screw it and outlawed my junk home. Woulda been a lot less stressful trip had I known!
