Truck Number Placement, is there a regulation I need to follow?

Irp asks for unit number but you don’t need to display one

 

I think you need to be able to read it at like 50 feet ??

Some shippers might want to see a truck and trailer number

I haul some military and government type stuff and they seem to always want to physically see that number and put it on their paperwork
Now I don’t know if just telling them the number if that would be acceptable or not

I have my truck numbers on the side of hood
Trailer is on the drivers side front and rear corners

 

A truck and trailer number is required info at most places I've ever loaded up at. Heck, that info is required at a Cat scale.

Maybe DOT doesn't require it to be stickered but why wouldn't you?

 

thats not a law

 

I have the Company name, last 6 of the vin, fire extinguisher inside on box door, dot, truck and trailer numbers

maybe not all is required but you can make that stuff look good and maybe prevent an issue down the road with some prick or shipper

 

Enlighten me…….please

 

If your running Colorado and your vin isn’t visible you’ll be walking into the scale house 99% of the time to show em your papers.
