Magnet Dot numbers on aluminum ford..

I saw someone the other day that used a sign that was mounted into the bed rail pockets, I thought that it looked pretty good and should be easily removed as well.

 

Most of those guys just get stickers made up at a graphics design place and put them on the rear windows. That way it won’t fade or mess up the paint.

 

Your Non-trucking/bobtail policy covers you for personal use so it really shouldn’t matter if you are driving it around at home.

 

When your numbers are new DOT looks at you often. Anything out of the normal you get closer look. Numbers on the trailer might be ok but it will be different. Even the magnet can be taken as not serious, a SWD 350 can pull the sign providing no trailer and be a non commercial vehicle. Pull into scale and your tarp is tattered or sloppy they might look at you. Give them no reason because when you are new you will get stopped often. No biggie but sometimes can be a hassle.

 

I’m pretty sure you have to have your numbers somewhere on the power unit so as to be visible from at least 50 feet away from the sides of the truck. Some guys get away with smaller placards or stickers I’m sure, long as it’s on there somewhere
