So the trailer I'm hauling doesnt have the placard nest, only these flippies.
It was raining and the 1133's weren't sticking to the trailer at all, so I clipped them over the top of the flippies, with the plastic clear shield on top. It's secure and looks fine, but there is a bit of a weird hump in the middle, and I never see anyone else run like this, so I'm a bit worried.
Do y'all think DOT will give me problems over this? Or is it fine?
Is this in any way illegal?

Would you trust it if wind ripped across it?
As long as your 4 points of truck and secured.
Dot only stop ya if they are missing or mismatched.snowlauncher, 86scotty and PermanentTourist Thank this. -
Eh, I trust it more than a crappy sticker stuck to a dirty trailer in pouring rain. I'll probably redo them and stick them normal when the weather dries up, but I was just curious about the legality of my "invention".Lepton1 Thanks this.

I don’t think it’s illegal, but I wouldn’t trust those to stay put. If you do it, take a few extra.Lepton1, Farmerbob1 and peterbilt_2005 Thank this.

Oh yeah, I made the dude hook my up with like 8 of these.

Days like today is when Duck Tape comes in handy.
The wind will most likely leave you subject to the DOTs ticket book. I would not count on them staying intact for long .snowlauncher, Numb and PermanentTourist Thank this. -
You're good. Roll on.
I usually wipe the trailer clean where I apply the stick on ones, and they hold up pretty good. But, if it's raining for days, at least one is going to tear, and need replaced.snowlauncher, Lepton1, wore out and 1 other person Thank this. -
They been chilling there just fine for 200 miles, those clips are pretty strong. Otherwise the wind would force them up and make the regular flippies flip randomly.Lepton1 Thanks this.
