Default What are you putting on the side of your truck?

Hey guys,
I'm having the 30"by 50" signs made up for my truck, and was wondering what you put on your signs and what not.
1.MC OK
2.DOT OK
3.VIN how many ## (I noticed the old signs on my truck only used the last 7 digits)
4.Company name OK
5.phone number, my girl says yes, I say no because it leads to people crank calling you, or lizards soliciting services.
6.Web address (doghouseexpress.com company info, and driver bio's, my girl is a real computer geek, so I'm getting a website like it or not,.......not)

Minimum requirements are:

Company Name
DOT#

If you don't want to go into the scalehouse everytime in CO you will need the last, I think it's 8, digits of the VIN.

That's all I put on mine. I'm not worried about losing the business I might get from somebody seeing me on the road and calling. Personally, I think the less info available to the public the better...but that's just me.

Yes, make sure that your numbers are the correct size, two inches, or you will get a ticket,

I think he took this pic after he had it worked over at the border when he was in Mexico. Or was that just the interior?
