Frequently Asked
Do CVOR numbers have to be displayed on Ontario trucks?
No. The driver carries the original or a copy of the CVOR certificate, or the original or a copy of the lease for a leased vehicle (HTA s.16(3)(a)) — not displayed on the exterior. Many operators display their CVOR reference number as professional fleet ID, but it is not mandated for Ontario-only operation.
What size do CVOR truck numbers need to be?
Ontario O.Reg 424/97 does not set a height for optional exterior CVOR reference display. Choose an available size on the product page that fits your vehicle. US-bound carriers must follow FMCSA 49 CFR 390.21 legibility requirements for USDOT markings.
Do Canadian carriers operating into the US need exterior truck numbers?
Yes. FMCSA 49 CFR 390.21 requires legal name and USDOT number on the exterior of commercial vehicles operating in the US. Our kits are built to that spec. Ontario CVOR and US USDOT are separate obligations.
How long does it take to receive the decals?
We ship in 1–2 business days from Niagara, Ontario. You receive a proof via email before we go to production — no surprises, no misprints.
