    My business name is my name. I'm leased to XYZ Carriers.

    It's my first truck. It's white.

    Do I just put black letters:

    DBA: My Name
    Leased to: XYZ Carriers
    City, State
    DOT # 1234567

    And, is there a rhyme or reason to assigning my truck a number? Is 001 ok?

    Finally, if I put flame decals on the hood, will it make it faster? Do those pointy lug nut covers reduce the truck's drag?

    Thanks

    Well the truck number dont mater, seen plenty of 666, 777, flight 747 ect... the rest?.. look at any truck, you will see the correct order. Lots of guys put the name big n bold on the door, then the leased to in smaller script on the tool box door....

    I hope you're leasing onto an "Express" carrier, they are a lot faster than regular carriers...:)

    The carrier you're leased to will generally assign you a truck number. They'll usually supply their lettering with all of the pertinent info. If you have your name on the truck too, you need to make sure it is obvious who owns the authority..."operated by" or "leased to" right above the carrier's name & USDOT will usually suffice.

    The carrier has the authority so I'm guessing their info gets the big font.

    And I supposed I just get an owned by: joe blow above it.

    Thanks guys...

    Heading to Lowe's to get some mailbox numbers
