Key Compliance Points

- Confirm whether a CA number and Motor Carrier Permit are required.
- Use the exact legal name or permitted trade name connected to the carrier record.
- Display required identifiers on both sides with strong contrast and clear visibility.
- Verify current requirements with the cited agency before operating.
