The DMV can verify the serial number if you take it there. Otherwise, you need a cop. Or a paid outside professional.
Weight cert only costs a few dollars, just drive it across a truck scale.
Try to leave out as many intermediate owners as possible, as if you bought it in Ohio from whoever owned it there. DMV will charge a transfer fee to/from each one.
You will need to pay various transfer fees, sales tax minus whatever you paid to another state or to the seller here, and commercial vehicle fees. Maybe $300 plus sales tax?
California is not bad, compared to the horror stories I hear from other states.
