Can other identifying information be displayed on a CMV?

Yes, other identifying information may be displayed on the CMV as long as it is consistent with the required information listed below.

Each commercial motor vehicle (CMV) must be marked with the following:

• The legal name or a single trade name of the company operating the CMV, as listed on the Motor Carrier Identification Report (Form MCS-150) that is submitted with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA);
• The motor carrier identification number issued by the FMCSA, preceded by the letters “USDOT.”

If the name of a person other than the operating carrier appears on the CMV, the name of the operating carrier must be followed by the information listed above, and preceded by the words “operated by.”
