    For temporary placement of MC#, USDOT, company name, on the side of a truck has anyone used poster board with permanent marker? Just seeing if this is, first legal and second practical considering rain and wind.

    You can print it on a piece of paper and tape it to passenger window.

    If you eventually get reals signs..make sure you put them on crooked. Especially if out of NYC area or Joarsey.

    A guy I knew would write on brown box cardboard with black marker, wrap the sign in sandwich wrap, then duct tape it to the door of his Frightliner cabover.

    Nice guy, hard runner, but it looked shady af......

    My favorite is black magic marker right on the paint. A close 2nd is shoe polish on the window.o_O

    Legal though, as long as can be seen from 50' away..

    ^^Agreed, looks shady..

    At least op said TEMPORARY..
    Some look like they've been that way for years..
