Where do I need dot reflective tape?

Rear of your tractor's day cab panel edges or your sleeper wall in the back above the catwalk. Bottom edge and side edges.

Your trailer along the bottom support metal front to back. If you take a look at most any flatbed picture and see reflective striping the way they do it thats how you do your trailer. ICC Bumper gets a stripe.

Those reflective DOT strips saved my life couple of times in deep fog. Reflecting itself with just enough room for me to come off my 80 plus mph and give the man the time he needed to clear the dual highway crossing in front of me.

 

Top corners of cab, top of mudflaps .

 

50% of sides and rear Don’t forget 12 inches of white only on the top rear corners of tractor and trailer

 

How old is the truck?

Seems to me you been fixing an older unit? Very possibly could be exempt

 

Read the regs, it explains it pretty well.

 

not all states require mud flaps tho. nc has no mud flap law.
