Truck lettering on fuel tank

Nope, your legal as long as it can be seen from 50'....I used 2.5" letters on my steps

 

You can put it wherever you want as long as they can see it from 50ft. I had it on the frame of my FLD.

 

I sold it. Then it got sold again. Then it got wrecked and rebuilt. Then it got sold again. It’s pretty rough now.

 

Just had new letters/numbers made up last year in Pa,I was told DOT numbers are to be 2 inches minimum.

 

There’s no size requirement. They only have to be visible from 50ft. Unless PA has their own requirement.

 

I thought it was 2.5”, myself along with 50 ft visibility. Also must be on body of Truck. I see plenty on the Tanks, and steps and a lot with much smaller lettering. Ryder’s letters are smaller than required. There’s definitely a size requirement, 2-3”, and contrasting color requirement. Mine are faded bad, need new ones. But haven’t been ticketed. Had a couple verbal warnings, a few yrs back. One Ohio Trooper, stood back 50 ft. I need new ones. Think I’ll put them on Tanks, this time.

 

I just double checked to be sure and there are no size requirements or requirements as to where it must be placed. Simply says contrasting color visible from 50 feet.

 

from another thread pa does have a minimum size.

 

Wonder how PA can make there own rules? This is Fed not state. Or has PA became so good they trump the Fed now?
