What Decals Do I Need on My Semi Truck?

When it comes to semi-trucks, there are a lot of rules and regulations that must be followed. One of the most important things to consider is what type of decals are required on your semi-truck.

Depending on the state you live in, there may be different laws regarding decals. In general, however, most states have similar requirements for semi-trucks.

Safety Decals: All semi-trucks must have a few basic safety decals on them. These include reflective tape or material that helps make the truck more visible at night and in dark conditions. Additionally, a “keep left” sign must be displayed at all times when traveling on highways and interstates.

Weight Decals: Weight decals are required for every truck that is over 10,000 pounds. These decals indicate the maximum gross weight of the vehicle, as well as any other restrictions that may apply.

Emission Decals: Emission decals are required on a semi-truck if it is powered by an internal combustion engine (diesel or gasoline). These stickers indicate how much carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and other pollutants the truck emits during operation.

Registration Decals: Registration decals are usually required in order to legally drive a semi-truck. These stickers will display information about the owner and operator of the vehicle, as well as its registration number.

Conclusion:
In order to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations, it is important to know what type of decals you need for your semi-truck. Safety decals such as reflective tape or signs must always be present; weight and emission decals may also be necessary depending on your vehicle’s size and motor type; finally, registration decals are typically required for all vehicles on public roads.
