    Are the magnet signs for DOT, MC number and company name legal to use? I have seen very few companies using them.

    I would be concerned that someone could steal if off of my truck and use it to operate an outlaw operation using my authority. Permanently mounted markings make it a little harder for someone to do something like that.

    Magnets stick to side of my Volvo 670 so trucks do still have metal contrary to popular belief.

    I never said they wouldn't stick to some parts of some trucks
    I was merely pointing out a fact that hadn't been said yet
