    Truck will be painted this week and i need to get the decals made but i was wondering if someone knows if just having the company name, usdot, and unit number is legal. Some of our truck s have the VIN although we rarely travel to CO, the weight,mc and kyu my dad told me something about a new law that doesn't require MC and KYU but i been asking around and have gotten mixed answers at the scales.

    And if you are leased onto someone it must say operated by, not leased to.

    You do not need MC but if going into KY you will need KYU. At present it is the easiest way for them to look you up.

    Even if you think you will go to CO once I would add the last 8 of the VIN. It is still a law in the CO books that you have to be labeled with it.

    Is it legal to just display the info on the toolboxes or other places besides the door.

    There "used" to be a reg about a minimum height of decals but I made a quick look and I was unable to find it>maybe it is no longer there.

    You can put it anywhere on the side as long as its a contrasting color and can be read.
