I had heard that you needed to provide the carriers DOT number. C&M doesn't want to be involved because their lawyer is concerned the state could come after them for money, somehow.

Somehow I think that they have no choice in the matter if you are leased to the carrier. I mean you have the DOT number plastered on your truck, it is a federal number that is in the public domain and in the case of some states, you have to produce a contract in some situations hence the company is involved right from the start.

I would agree with Gregg. You paying tax on a truck that is exempt has nothing to do with them. I would use their DOT number or a copy of their lease and get your refund.
To be fair, I have never heard of a carrier give that type of response. Maybe I am missing something?

10-4. Wishing you the best. Cash reserves are your best friend on the road. The expediting experience is greatly enhanced when you have six months earnings in the bank and a thousand dollars cash in your pocket.

I didn't pay the tax. See message #11.
I don't get it either. I can't imagine how the state could come after them when the truck's in my name. I can only assume that their lawyer saw something that created a "worst case" possibility and they just want to cover their rears.

Finally got it!!!
Seller's credit union ordered the title from the state (FL) on Aug 2. They recieved it on Aug 20. 18 days to get a friggin title??? Someone was telling me... Southern hospitality/ Southern efficiency. Uggh!
Anyways... got the title today, got it registered, and ready to go for Monday. Time to make some mo-nay!
Thanx for everyone who gave advice! No more dealing with credit union title holders. From now on, give money - get title - or keep looking.
