NH??? Hell they don't require insurance there.<G> Backwoods no teeth
state.<BFG>
I think her deal is that they are going directly to MT to get the truck,
then cross country to the east coast I believe. So, to do what you suggest
is a nightmare imo. Unless they have a agent that will do leg work and
will
get them a insurance binder, go to the dmv and spend some time on a fax.
Might be easier to ****p the truck
I still think with a couple of phone calls the correct procedure can be
determined.
