    I can't find anything on the FMCSA site that states the size requirement for the sides of the truck. I want to get magnetic signs so that I don't have to permanently attach stickers. Can anyone help me on this?

    If you're in Chicago, it should go on the sidebox door, misspelled with some really lame name.

    I might be wrong, but I believe a logo is also required
