Please note the rolling of the eyes to indicate sharp sarcasm. My comment was in response to OVM's comment about customers asking for unmarked vans, such as when his carrier does blind shipments.

Blind shipments are about hiding the shipper or receiver, or both. Not about hiding the carrier. The only time someone wants to hide the carrier is when somebody somewhere is trying to pull a fast one.
And my comment should have included an eye roll ... As it was a sarcastic response to a post that all vans should have signage.... Now is everyone confused yet? Lol

I'm actually more in line with Michigan on the door signage. Any vehicle with a GVRW of more than 5,000 pounds that hauls property for compensation under motor carrier authority should have that authority permanently affixed to the driver and passenger side doors.

Ruh, roh!

Yeah, you definitely do.

Hauling property for compensation in interstate commerce without having motor property or contract carrier authority is not something that anyone wants to be caught doing. Some do it, tho.

Advertising you are commercial and it is assumed you have "deep pocket" insurance coverage.... even when not under a load.

Permanently affixed to the driver and the passenger side door. "To the driver!" You mean like a tattoo. I think that's going a little to far.
