    I'm thinking about starting a small delivery gig in which I'd be doing some white glove delivery for some small furniture stores in the area and some final mile stuff using a small straight truck, probably a "UHAUL" looking truck.... do I need to register for a MC number AND a usdot number? I wouldn't be going out of state if that matters. Thanks in advance

    No, those are only for interstate driving. You would need to contact your state. Most states have a requirement for intrastate moves.

    In Michigan you need a US DOT number.

    Tell me that's a joke cause I ordered a magnet through Vistaprint lol. I only ordered one to make sure the numbers were of correct height since they don't offer actual letter/number sizing.

    Oh man I've seen that too much... Lowe's is the desired choice of lettering when it comes to putting decals on your truck... I got a heat gun and I had my local guy design a logo for me.. I paid $120 for 2 sides and I put them on myself with a heat gun...
