    Dixie,
    My daughter goes to Dixie State. Every once in a while I see loads going in to St. George (flatbeds) but never take it because I'm figuring I gotta DH to SLC to get out. You get loads in and out of there on regulare basis?

    This.

    I've put them on my trucks in temperatures far below freezing without any issue, other than some cold fingers that is.

    And be sure you remove or cover the old ones...... it's a technicality but your only supposed to display one per side.

    Seeing how their going after placard sizes, windshield wash bottles and sleeper seat belts this could be the next big thing in tickets.

    I noticed for 2011 they started cross cutting them, so removal was harder and discouraged theft.
    $5 for the stickers here in WI.

    I was thinking about using a touch myself (gently) to remove and warm up the area for the new stickers,
    since I have no access to an outlet for a heat gun.

    I use a solvent called orange peal to get them off. Peel old stickers off the wipe liberally with orange peal to get the "void" and adhesive off. Any shop that does lettering has this solvent. Good stuff, got mine free in a 20oz coke bottle.

    That's why the IFTA counter is by the door. Like having to exit an amusement attraction through the gift shop LOL. After paying your IRP, the decal charge doesn't sting a bit.

    I've got a small stainless steel plate on each side of the truck for the IFTA stickers, I just warm them up with a heat gun, peel them off, a little Goof Off and then glass cleaner and put the new ones on.:biggrin_25514:

    Yeah that cross cutting sucks when you try to remove the old ones. To be honest it would take on heck of a person to stand around fiddling with a sticker so it doesn't stretch just so they can fool someone and "save a few bucks":biggrin_25513:.

    A propane torch works just fine and this is how I do mine each and every year...no problem in 13 years of doing it. But make sure you wipe the sticker and surrounding area first to make things easier for ya. On a side note...why do some guys seem to think they need a IFTA sticker chart on the side of their trucks? Personally I think it looks stupid and attracts attention.
