Questions buyers ask
What lettering is required on a delivery van in Ontario?
Operator-name, unit-number, and fleet-ID layouts should match the current vehicle record or customer specification. Use a readable size and verify any mandatory exterior marking with the applicable authority before treating it as a regulatory display requirement.
Does my delivery van need a operator ID displayed on the door?
A operator ID certificate should be carried in the vehicle; do not treat it as an automatic exterior operator ID display requirement. If your van crosses into the US, a carrier number number and legal company name must be displayed on both sides under US carrier authority cross-border carrier marking rule. Verify any exterior marking requirements with the MTO for your specific vehicle and use. When ordering, provide your exact registered operator name as it appears on your vehicle permit.
What size should van door lettering be in Ontario?
We size fleet lettering for readability and customer proof approval. Do not treat 2 inches as an Ontario operator ID statutory minimum unless a verified authority or customer specification requires it.
