I'd drive the b***h home, you wouldnt want it unless it was drivable and inspectable anyway. I did this once years ago with a drill rig that was mounted on a similar sized truck (Ford F-600). I flew to the nearest airport, then cabbed to the truck and drove it home. This was in Massachusetts, about 300 miles away. The drill rig truck wasn't quite up to full DOT standards but it was good enough for Special Commercial plates. It was doubly ironic because the first guy that tried to drive it home (from Providence, RI), it broke down a few miles down the road, blew the engine, and had to be towed to a repair shop and the guy flew home since it was on a Friday, so a couple of weeks later when I went to go get it, I had to go pick it up at the shop where it was fixed. So, if I were you, I'd drive it home as long as you have plates on it and it was halfway drivable and the weather was not supposed to be too bad. Might be an adventure, so I'd file a "flight plan". Good luck and let us know how you make out.
