Driving a truck out of California

[Tyler d4c]

We came accross a 06 f750 bucket truck that my buddy Jack maybe interested in.
Its being sold due to not meaning teir 4 for Cali. If it gets registration in PA can i with out hassle drive it out of the state to never return again. Or am I nuts its only 2605 miles home. The truck only has 32000 miles and 5600 or so hours on it and lookomg at the photos I feel its fairly good enough to drag its self home.

I maybe insaine to try it!

You probably will be ok if you watch your gauges carefully. Be prepared for the unexpected though. My biggest worry would be the condition of the tires. Check them closely, and be sure you have a spare with you. Good luck.

I thinking the trucks fine im worried of the legallitys of driving it out of cali. Due to there emissons laws mandates what have you

No need to check DMV it could be flagged may have to be hauled to Reno,Nevada & go from there

Would it just be flagged in cali or in other states as well?

 

[Tyler d4c]

If it makes a difference where its at.

California only.CARB is God they're pushing tier 5 bs. Truck may be choked with a aftermarket def requirement.

Not sure if you'll be allowed to drive it out of Cali or not. You'll need Transit Permits for most other states. At least you'll be able to avoid Missouri.

I80 check state permits for non hire travel once out of Ca. SRT transport out Sparks ,NV run in & out of Ca may get backhaul discount

Can you register the truck in PA without it physically being there?

Our Hoovenoor has declared that we will follow Kalifornia rules on a bunch
of emissions stuff, including paint & solvents.


So it might be a moot point.

California emissions reject I drove out of Sacramento back to Washington state about 15th ago.
‘82 Ford w stinky CAT 3208.
Had trip permits for all states traveling through.
No issue at any scales. Not even Washington port of entry.
In’23 I drove another truck with trailer (registered in WA) from Washington to Missouri using trip permits (most purchased on-line….Wyoming requires stopping at port of entry for purchase).
Thankfully that trip went smoothly, too.

You can drive a non CARB compliant out of California without issues, they're happy it's leaving.
All states you cross will require trip permits, can be bought at all ports of entry. Some are not
even scale houses, just a road side business contracted to sell permits where there are no
port of entry scales or scale is miles from border.

Truck shop I disagree Cail out of service on a diesel it's not to be started again in state. Order to be destroyed or hauled out

TS runs a tow truck looking to help after

 

[Truck Shop]

Know a dealer who drives them out of Cali, a one way permit can be had for driving
showing bill of sale for a one way trip. California allows on permit antique diesel powered
to be driven to shows under the guidelines it's historical vehicle.
*
And the California registration/permit form is filed as Regulation 402T.
*
Also--I don't run a tow truck "For Hire". It belongs to my old employer and only tows
his company owned trucks, and maybe one I own. Other than that I'm not out to help
anyone other than my old company.

Truck shop towing was a fun poke. From Ca delt with carb laws changing & or revisions Old diesel trucks from 5k yr to 500mile total yr odometer better work & 2025 It's garbage. Bs with the state easier haul out- first post was check with dmv options

That is nothing more than AI printed/generated crap. If laws/regulations were known then
why not just post Reg 402T and be done with it.
