    Yep you two are right, it is Owned by, not Operated by.

    Sorry was doing this when I was tired on my stupid Ipad, no excuse for the mistake.

    Just to add so no one mistakes what you are saying and gets themselves in trouble, while you can add "owned by" above your company name, It isn't needed, what is needed is the "operated by"above the carriers name. That has to be there if there is any other name on the truck besides the carrier. As for dot#, the carriers, and only the carriers dot# must be on the truck.

    You were right the first time, operated by before the company that owns the tractor and you must have leased to before the name and DOT # of who you are leased to. MC# no longer has to be on truck. This info is from DOT enforcement division in Chicago area. Also city of owner no longer required.

    I'm not confused...... I think you are wrong as was he. FMCSA clearly defines it, see up post.

    If you think I'm wrong open your little green bible and show me the article and section and I'll personally point it out to the DOT officer that I got my info from, I don't think you can. My money is on her.
