    Hi, I bought a truck/trailer to move my stuff to another state. I got a CDL and insurance and inspection sticker for the truck windshield.
    Do I need to put "Not for Hire" on the door?

    Thanks

    If you search the threads a little there was a whole thread with
    about 10 pages about this very subject.

    I'm sure they have allready disscussed this till it's dead and they probaly posted
    some regs concerning it.

    Thank you Coonass.
    I read that thread before posting.
    There were two posts that got my attention, the second was from a trooper.

    1.
    No markings.... plan on lots of time spent in scales explaining why there are no markings on the truck. It may actually help to put some "private use vehicle/not for hire" markings on the truck.

    2. (the cop)
    When I see the "private not for hire" it just draws me to them like a moth to a light.

    So, are you saying I should deduce from that thread that an unmarked truck and trailer is best?

    Maybe a little info on what highways you will be hauling on will help us advise you . Some states are tougher than others . I would put the private vehicle , not for hire sign on though . It will avoid more than it attracts .

    You said move to another state . Isn't there interstate movement involved ?

    I from LA, you won't be hitting any scales going North into AR. I would
    put the "private not for hire" on the truck and as long as you got ins. and
    other paperwork not worry about it.

    I know there are no scales, I just want to do everything right.

    My question was, and is, What is the Law? Am I required to put "Not for Hire" on the truck door?
