    The trailer taping requires one continous strip across the width of the trailer & 50% coverage down the sides...

    That's only about $0.41/ft, which is 7X cheaper than $12/3ft at a truck stop.

    Pulling one trailer behind my tractor 150' might last me years, or until I decide to repaint something. Either way, its well worth the $65 to avoid potential $200 fines.

    And make sure it goes all the way across the back DOT bumper. I had a Az trooper "give me a break" for being 1/2 inch short on both ends.

    The Cab marking came out in 98 as my New Pete I got as a Company Driver had it on there. Trailers all of them have had to be marked since IIRC 2003.
