My wife is with relatives in Oregon right now, and they're going to sell her a nice truck at a good price.  She is wanting to drive it back home to MS.  How do we do this legally?  It's got expired tags, but there is no lien and she will have the title.  Should it be sufficient to add it to our insurance and have her drive it back with the bill of sale, proof of insurance, and title?  Or are they going to have to trailer it behind a Uhaul?  I do not think I can get it registered in MS without the original title with wet signature, so mailing them a plate isn't an option without it taking 2+ weeks.

No idea on the legalities OP.
Here in Houston, all the Wetbacks drive with expired Paper Tags and No Insurance and are never bothered.  Protected class and all.....

But have them listen to this on the road

Bill of Sale
Title

Trip Permit, these are usually good for 3 days and cost around $50  Website says $35 for a light vehicle good for 21 days.  You will need proof of insurance OR Trip Permit

Look at your states DMV to see if you can get a temp paper tag w/ for an out of state purchase. I think we have a 3 day tag option available here.
Otherwise send it with insurance, bill of sale, and title and run it at night

Should be fine with bill of sale and legit title and insurance.
You might get stopped but pretty sure they don't want you in jail for buying a car.
