    My sign doesn’t block light or tag, Back deck is same height as a step. 0AD737F0-5C4D-46DD-886B-CC0AB37BF22F.jpeg

    And if you didn't have those posts for the sign it would be covering the lights and plate.

    As they should, that is just lazy, i passed a guy at night a couple nights ago about 1 am , he had oversize lights on 2 lane road i moved towards the shoulder to give him more room since i couldnt see, then as he passed it was nothing but a empty rgn had signs and flags and lights flashing like a rave party but nothing on the deck

    Those post have nothing to do with the sign, they are for the lights, the sign is in stake pockets

    Okay. Then, if you didn't have a prebuilt frame your sign would be covering the plate and lights. The point stands. Not every trailer is dedicated to oversize.

    The trailer might have been wide... the 2 trailers I pull are 9' and 10' wide.

    That’s not right, you put it on your super drop sun visors that almost covers your windshield.
