The dreaded placard removal. Stuck on, how do you remove?

Do you use clear tape? If you're using duct tape or something that will technically make the placard smaller, you'll be put out of service for improper placard which will have a huge affect on your PSP and your company's CSA.

 

Same here. Those plastic shields are the bomb!! No more placards blowing off or having to peel stuck ones off.

 

do not have to explain it. It the law and you just have not found the right cop to put you out of service to remove the tape nothing can cover that placard expect a dot approved holder

 

Torch to heat them up or a can of good brake cleaner.

 

Just not both !

 

IF nothing can cover the placard. Then by your own statement, even standard slip in placard holders are illegal. Because they cover or hide some parts of the placard.

How I tape them on is around the edges, so as NOT to cover the important parts of the placard.
I'm not stupid, nor are the scale Nazis in the Superior WI scale. Who have allowed me to pass with taped on placards. As have Minnesota DOT.
How I tape them on covers even less of the placard than the slip in holders do.

 

Duct tape is not legal. Use clear tape only.
Best way to remove them is not to remove them Carry a can of white spray paint if the trailer is white and just paint it over.
