Hello,
My suggestion would be to contact your local DMV/RMV to see if you can register it like a pickup with truck/combination plates/car plates instead of commercial plates. I know I have seen plenty of tow trucks/box trucks here in CT with "Not for hire" painted on the sides/doors, signifying that it is not part of a business.
I would also contact the state DMV that your moving to and ask them the same things. I hope it works out well for you...
The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.

I'm looking for some information on what I'm going to need to do to operate this truck I just picked up. It's a 2005 Sterling single cab, 26k, 22' box w/lift gate and cat engine/auto trans (air brakes).
I do not have a CDL and am only going to be using it for personal use. No business, not to make money, only my items in the truck. It is mostly just for moving purposes.
I currently have a NY license, but moving south to North Carolina or South Carolina in the near future and looking to load up the truck and take it with me.
I do have a TWIC card, basic license with motorcycle and tow endorsement.
What do I need to do? Thank you to all in advance!!!
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
