    Got a yearly DOT inspection on my truck because I had blown a brake chamber so was already stuck at a Loves shop. After I passed they gave me the paper that checks everything off and a sticker. Does the sticker need to be displayed somewhere? Is it a DOT rule or is there any good reason to post it?

    I put mine right inside the door by the other stickers with VIN # and GVW. That way it’s protected from the weather, but easy to show any DOT officer.

    I looked and didn't find anything. All that means though is I could be looking in the wrong spot. Of course it also could mean it's not required.
    Since @Scalemaster is posting again hopefully he knows the answer.

    I load with a bunch of shiny larcars and most don’t have a sticker. I remember one saying it wasn’t required, but I never have looked.
    I know the white paper ones can’t be read after a couple months.

    The answer is on the sticker if ya think about it....... all the sticker says is where the inspection report can be found. If ya keep the report in the truck then ya don’t need the sticker.

    For 9 years now I’ve never had the sticker on my truck
