Regulatory Requirements
Ontario HTA s.16 requires the name of the registered owner or lessee on both sides of commercial vehicles. Must be clearly legible, minimum 2" height, and match your CVOR certificate exactly.
Your registered company or operating name as it appears on your CVOR certificate.
We confirm your text and layout before cutting. No payment until you approve your proof.
Avoid MTO delays and keep your commercial vehicles compliant on the road with removable magnetic signs that take seconds to apply. When you run a mixed fleet, use leased trucks, or sub-contract for larger carriers, you need a heavy-duty compliance solution that transfers quickly without permanently marking the vehicle. These magnetic door signs ensure your company name, gross vehicle weight, and operating numbers are clearly legible at weigh stations, keeping your operators moving and out of the penalty box.
What's Included
- Two heavy-duty magnetic vehicle signs sized for standard commercial truck doors.
- High-contrast, UV-resistant lettering that meets provincial legibility requirements.
- Rounded corners to prevent edge lifting at highway speeds.
- Customized layout including your operating name and required permit numbers.
Who This Is For
- Owner-operators transitioning between personal use and commercial hauling.
- Sub-contractors requiring temporary carrier branding for specific routes.
- Fleet managers utilizing short-term rental trucks to handle seasonal volume spikes.
Regulation Reference
Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, commercial motor vehicles with a registered gross weight exceeding 4,500 kg must clearly display the operator's name on both sides of the vehicle. These signs are engineered to satisfy Ministry of Transportation (MTO) inspection criteria for visibility, ensuring your Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR) details and operating licence numbers are properly presented to enforcement officers.
What Happens Next
After you submit your order, our compliance team reviews your provided text to ensure proper sizing and colour contrast. We will email you a digital proof for review within one business day. Production will not begin until you verify the details and approve the proof, ensuring your signs are perfectly aligned with regulatory requirements before they ship.
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.
