[QUOTE="wis bang, post: 12108132, member: 56880"]Brian991219 nailed it; under 26,000# does not need an aportioned license plate or IFTA decal/fuel tax account. It is called a 'census' number an any commercial insurance broker will be familiar with filing the MCS90 [proof of insurance] with the DOT and the OP can apply on line [MCS150] for the number though most of the items on the application will not apply. Medical card is required over 10K. The friend probably already has his company name/logo on the truck and just needs to add DOT NO XXXXXX and go. Reasonable amounts of haz mat is allowed as 'materials of trade' so a torch set, flammable solvents, etc. are allowed, the FCMSA finally put this 'grey area' to rest with the materials of trade exemption to HM.[/QUOTE]
