Until a few years ago, you were required to put your MC# or ICC # on the side of the truck. Now, all you need is the name of your company, DOT number, city and state of home base, last 8 of the Vin number (if you run Colorado. If you don't have it on the side of your truck, you will need to stop and go in at each port of entry in Colorado.) Colorado is the only state that requires you to post the Vin on the truck. Unless you lease to a carrier you no longer need to put your KYU number on the truck. You will also need to have a truck number on the truck. Most put the number on the side of the hood or bumper. It should be easily visible to the scale master when you go through. You will also need to assign a truck number when you apply for your base plate, etc., It should match the number on the side of the truck. Signage doesn't need to be all that large. 50" wide is a large sign. All you need do is have letters about 3-4" tall so that they are easily visible. Most sign companies can make them the proper size. The font has as much to do with making it easily visible than the size.
