Are Magnetic Signs Legal for US DOT Numbers?

Are magnets legal for US DOT compliance? The answer is yes!

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, they state in the final rule for commercial motor vehicle marking that it can be painted on or may consist of a removable device.  That specific rule can be viewed in the official federal register Vol 65 No 107 on page 10 section 390.21 (d) under the marking of CMVs.

Many truck and delivery drivers have leased or rented vehicles that require their numbers to be removable. The solution for marking the vehicles with proper US DOT signage that is removable, is a magnetic US DOT number sign. Just be sure the area on your vehicle is steel, and the magnets will get you legal on the trucks that are rented, leased, or on personal vehicles that you occasional use for business use.
