I recently bought an enclosed trailer from a N.J. man who bought it from the dealer in W.V. and used it to move to Fl.  I bought it from him in Fl.  He gave me the original title from the dealer made out to him.  I paid him, he signed it over to me and I took the trailer back to N.C.

I went to the N.C.D.M.V to get a title.  I was holding the original title for the trailer and a bill-of-sale for purchase.  The D.M.V staffer told me that the man I bought it from would have to get it titled in Fl.
<p>
Now, my question is this: what does N.C. have to do with what happens in Fl?  I was under the impression that the N.C.D.M.V. looked after N.C. resident`s business.  I thought they were employed by the residents of N.C.  Apparently, they are acting as Federal agency involved in interstate commerce.

I intend to get to the bottom of why a N.C. resident is denied (in the interest of another state) a N.C. title when the resident is holding a legitimate title and bill-of-sale for the item.
