Will my US DOT numbers be compliant with federal requirements?
All US DOT stickers, decals, and magnets that we ship out will meet or exceed federal requirements as per A Motor Carrier’s Guide to Improving Highway Safety 12/09

The motor carrier’s identification number, preceded by “US DOT”
The size, shape and color markings must be in letters that contrast sharply in color with the background on which the letters are placed
