USDOT number display requirements

What are the USDOT number display requirements?

Display the legal or trade name and USDOT number on both sides of the commercial motor vehicle, in contrasting lettering legible from 50 feet while stationary. The eCFR's current §390.21T text, accessed 2026-07-21, is the named source because the base section is suspended. Check current federal and state marking rules before application.

Dated source facts

What the cited record says

Source-snapshot manifest receipt

Reproducible lineage, explicitly unsigned

This receipt attests the source snapshot manifest, not any individual fact.

The answer-series chain record is unsigned. It does not authenticate a person, organization, eligibility state, or individual fact.

Methodology and limitations

How to interpret this answer

Methodology version: citation-answer/v1

  • The live rule and any state additions must be checked before marking a vehicle.
  • This aggregate public-record answer is not a consumer report, person-level dossier, eligibility decision, or risk score.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this answer

Does the federal rule set one universal letter height?
The cited temporary rule uses a 50-foot legibility standard rather than one universal height.
Why does this page cite §390.21T?
The base §390.21 is shown as suspended, so the temporary section carries the current text.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
