RegSenseState InfoDOT marking identificationBest ResultsFocus AreaFleet OperationsMississippiEnglishDOT marking identificationTransportation

Mississippi has adopted 390.21 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), as amended.*

Section 390.21 applies to commercial motor vehicles operated in intrastate commerce with a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more, or vehicles transporting a placardable amount of hazardous materials.

*Mississippi has adopted the USDOT marking regulations in 390.21 for intrastate CMVs. However, the state is not currently enforcing this regulation. Check with the state regarding any changes in this enforcement policy.

Additional Requirements All intrastate motor carriers of property operating under authority granted by Mississippi (certificate or permit) must have painted or stenciled on both sides of the body or cab of each vehicle:
  • Name of operator as shown on the certificate in lettering 2 1/2 inches high;
  • Certificate or permit number or numbers with the prefix MISS. P.S.C. in letters/figures 1 1/2 inches high; and
  • A unit number assigned to the vehicle by the carrier in lettering 1 1/2 inches high.

All letters and figures must be of a distinctively different coloring from that of the cab or body of the vehicle.
Interstate carriers with intrastate operating authority from the Mississippi DOT are in compliance by displaying the legal company name and USDOT number. Intrastate authority registration is verified via the DOT number.
