Illinois: effective 01/01/2011- Company Name on Doors or else!

Fed DOT already requires the company name on the trucks, along with the DOT #.

 

I think IL is getting a point across....so many "leased to" decals drivers put on someplace other than the door....like under the sleeper window close to the bottom of the cab.

 

Michigan requires the city and state portion to be displayed as well.

 

Just another reason to stay out of IL.

 

This law is mainly aimed at the guys who run with no markings what ever on the truck.

Many of the "haulers" put no info on their vehicles.

They are not looking at properly marked vehicles.

 

So if we mark just company business name, and DOT number,

we are NOT legal in michigan ?

 

That's for vehicles registered in MI if I remember correctly. It's been a few weeks since I saw that, so my memory is a bit rusty.

 

Hold the phone here! Every female I've EVER known has a memory like a steel trap...or the everready bunnie...it just goes on and on and on and on......

 

We put all of our decals on the sleeper sides. Company name, truck number, all the DOT numbers, locations, GVW's, etc.

All there nice and easy to see. Makes the truck look much cleaner as well. No one has to look all over for info, it is right there for them.
