    razor blade, just don't go nuts on it, or you will scratch the paint, and get dinged by the company.

    believe it or not, there really are plastic blades that any auto supply store will have, that i have used, and they work!!

    Pull only trailers with changeable placard set-up; put your foot down and make these friggin companies install changeable type placards. What the hell we live in a modern age.

    Hair blower and GOOBGONE...We had a guy put 4 adhesive ones on his car years ago when he picked up 6 cases of 1.1D.. They had just passed law that placards required. I thought he would have taped them on but noooo, peeled the backing off and laid them on his new oldsmobile.
    I had a V permit at the time to sell explosives in quantities up to 500kg. Had many customers who did not have a clue,,,they just wanted to blow up that darn beaver dam!

    I pull containers. No slippy-in holders. Ive come across some paper placards. These things just come apart, so I painted over them. Legal?
