The NAME on your truck

Cedar Rapids Steel Transport

 

Alot of these companies create sub-division legally within the corporation. Each of these sub-divisions can have there own names, so to make them transparent you can simply abbreviate. Such as CRST / Cedar Rapids Steel Transport.

I believe John Christner spells in out on the Cab, And use the JCT abbreviation on the trailers. Personally I would not name the company after myself, It is better for a name to tell the person reading what your company does or provides service wise. That way even the names is working for you.

 

crst made there money in the 60s and 70s hauling grain into chicago and steel back into the midwest. and tmc years ago called themselves by the there real name and not tmc. b careful out there

 

Name on truck matches the name on the authority. Not the name on the title. If that is different just make up a lease agreement.

 

I think you can put whatever you want on your truck as long as it doesn't contradict with the required carrier name and DOT number. I have my handle on mine I don't want my real name flying around out there for any ID thief to see.
You can put "CAT house" on the side of the hood, "I went broke trucking" or whatever the fluk you want.

Remember unless you are a carrier you are not an "operator" you are a driver.
