Important — CVOR Compliance: Magnetic signs do not replace required CVOR door lettering. O.Reg 424/97 requires permanent markings for CVOR number and operator name. Magnetic signs are for supplementary identification only — phone number, services, promotions. If you need CVOR-compliant lettering, see our permanent CVOR door decals.
Who Uses Magnetic Truck Signs
- Contractors with dual-use trucks — work vehicle Monday to Friday, personal truck on weekends. Peel off in seconds, no residue.
- Leased vehicle operators — no permanent modifications to a truck you will return at end of lease.
- Multi-vehicle fleets — move one set of signs between trucks as needed. One purchase covers multiple vehicles.
- New businesses — instant professional look at job sites and client visits before committing to a full wrap.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. MTO enforcement practice treats removable magnetic signs as non-compliant for required CVOR identification. O.Reg 424/97 requires markings to be displayed on the vehicle — permanent vinyl lettering satisfies this. Magnetic signs are acceptable only for supplementary information like phone numbers or temporary promotions.
