I literally got back an hour ago from a seven hour drive to pick up a Super Duty I bought last week. Here's what I did. A buddy and I drove one car to get the truck. Once the transaction was competed, we to the car and truck down the road to a U-Haul and rented a car dolly and towed the car home. The cost of the dolly was not much more than the cost of gas to drive the car back home and we had a pretty good time.

get the title and go to your Motor Vehicle Administration. There you'll register it and tell them you need to get a tag cuz it's in another state. They will issue you a tag that is good for a period of time which will allow you to drive it back and get any inspections done on it. Just make sure to tell them the vechicle is out of state and you need to transport it back to yoru state.

Woody, I see you are from New York. Here is what I found on line:

In-transit Permit (Temporary Registration)
Can I get a temporary registration to move a vehicle within NYS or to another state?
The NYSDMV does not issue temporary registrations. The DMV issues an in-transit permit (MV-639ITP) that you can use to move a vehicle from one location in NYS to another location to register it. An in-transit permit is a paper permit that you display in the rear window of the vehicle.
The DMV issues an in-transit permit only for a vehicle that you recently purchased or received. You cannot use an in-transit permit to replace a current registration, a registration that expired within the last year, or to extend a registration. Use the current registration or renew the registration if it expired within the last year.
You cannot renew an in-transit permit. You cannot get a second in-transit permit if the first in-transit permit for your vehicle expires.
There are two types of in-transit permit:
Intrastate In-Transit Permit -- The permit is valid for 30 days and allows you to transport a vehicle from one location in NYS to another location in NYS. For example, you need an intrastate in-transit permit if you buy a vehicle from a seller in another part of NYS and you need to transport the vehicle to your home before you register it. The fee is $10.
Interstate In-Transit Permit -- The permit is valid for 30 days and allows you to transport a vehicle from New York State to another jurisdiction to register it. For example, you need an interstate in-transit permit if you buy a vehicle in NYS, but you reside in another state or you move to another state, and you plan to register the vehicle in the other state. The fee is $10.
Important information for Massachusetts residents: Massachusetts (MA) does not recognize the NYS in-transit permit. According to the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles, you can receive a ticket for no registration if you use an NYS in-transit permit in MA. This also makes the insurance on the vehicle not valid. MA authorities can impound the vehicle for no valid insurance. For more information, contact the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles.
To apply for an intrastate or interstate in-transit vehicle permit you must provide:
Proof of insurance. Normally, you must show a NYS Insurance ID Card as proof of insurance. If you use a form FS-75, FS-76 or FS-77 Insurance ID Card, you must show it to DMV within 7 days after it was prepared. This type of insurance ID card must have "in-transit" or "in-transit permit" printed or written on it, and you must provide an In-transit Cancellation Authorization form (this is not a DMV form) from the insurance agent or broker who prepared the card.
If you are not a resident of NYS and you apply for an interstate in-transit permit, you can provide a letter or an insurance binder from an out-of-state insurance company, agent or broker instead of a NYS Insurance ID Card. The DMV cannot accept a letter or insurance binder for a resident of NYS.
A letter must be on the company, agent or broker letterhead. The letter must contain all of the following information:
the name and address of the agent, broker, or producer
the name of the insurance company,
the policy number and expiration date,
the effective date of the policy,
the name and address of the insured person,
information about your vehicle that includes the VIN, make, and model.
If the document is an insurance binder, the "Automobile Liability" section in the center of the form must be completed and a box for "Any Auto", "All Owned Autos" or "Scheduled Autos" must be checked.
All insurance ID cards must be original documents. A letter or an insurance binder can be an original document or a fax sent to a DMV office by the insurer. Photocopies are not acceptable.
Proof of Ownership: Read the information about proof of ownership. If you apply for an interstate in-transit permit, the DMV office returns the proof of ownership after it is examined. If you apply for an intrastate in-transit permit, the DMV office keeps the proof of ownership to issue a NYS title certificate.
Proof of Identification: You must show your proof of identity and date of birth. If another person brings your application to the DMV office, that person must follow the requirements for a second party application.
Sales Tax: If the applicant for an interstate permit is a NYS resident, the applicant must provide proof of sales tax payment or purchase price and pay any tax at the DMV office.
Application Form: Complete form MV-82ITP (In-Transit Permit).
Also required for intrastate in-transit permits only:
Sales Tax -- Proof of sales tax payment or purchase price to pay the tax at the DMV office.
Title Certificate Fees -- Pay the title certificate fee of $50.00, plus an additional $5.00 for each lienholder listed on the title certificate.
Vehicle Registration -- After you move the vehicle to the final location in NYS, apply for a registration at a DMV office. Use form MV-82. Pay the fees for the registration documents and vehicle plates. The DMV then issues your vehicle plates and registration documents to you.

Good lord!!! Look at all that bureaucratic BS just to get a newly purchased vehicle home. That doesn't even seem reasonable. Insurance is a must but if you have USAA, all you have to do is make a phone call and they will email you the proof of insurance card. Although, with USAA, if you're insured to drive a vehicle, you're insured no matter what vehicle you're driving.
With all that BS, it would be easier just to put in on a trailer. I don't think you need to have "cargo" registered.

If I have to purchase the truck first then go get a temp reg to transport I might as well reg. it for good. I am I don't want to go there on the weekend decide to buy the truck, come back with the paper work and title then drive all the way back to get it. Its hard enough to get someone to go down to look at it on a weekend. I have to find someone with a transporter plate. This should be fun.

Woody, what state is the truck in?
In many states, you can purchase a temp tag (usually a cardboard tag) for vehicles you have just purchased.
If you put the truck on a dolly or trailer, you are not required to have a tag on it...the tag is on the dolly or trailer that you use.
By the way, if you do have USAA insurance, they'll fax an insurance certificate to the dealer once you put coverage on the vehicle and provide them with the VIN...that's how I got my F250 home when I picked it up.
Good luck Pal!
