    Yes, very. I hauled a load of donated hay to flood victims in eastern NE and figured any sign was better than no sign.

    I disagree, @Humblepie you dont realize how many of us are putting the OS banners across our windshields because they keep the sun out, but yet they are see through. Works great!

    The scales are not even stopping anyone for it either.

    on our real short step decks at work. (assuming the load works this way) we have a bunch of short pipe stakes floating around (about 18" tall). Plop one of those in the rear most stake pocket, hook it so it doesn't come out and bang, easy and visible place to hang your signs. (above the deck).

    works great. I keep a set of the stakes in my truck box.

    You're talking about a good percentage of the trucking population right there.

    Well ####! That’s good to know. Next time I’m headed into the sun, I’ll try that out.

    Am I lazy because I always have my oversize signs on - even when empty?

    Although they do not block the license plates or taillights- I am hoping it because I am lazy as that seems more restful
