Need some help with this one. I have an older payloader i use for snow work and i would like to register and insure so i can drive it over the road. Only problem is, my insurance broker cant seem to find out how to do it. Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction. Thanks

    OK, from what I remember it would get insured on your business auto policy, that's how my backhoe is. But the tricky part is getting it registered at the DMV, you'll need to show proof that the sales tax was paid when you bought it or pay it again @ the DMV. The DMV should then register it as a Special Commercial Vehicle with a transferable registration. Be prepared to supply ownership documentation and make numerous trips to the local DMV office. jr
