re: vehicle decal issues/advantages

So long as you don’t drive anything bigger than a one ton duelly pickup, the DOT won’t even glance your way. Some states make you buy more expensive tags for a vehicle with advertising on it, and it can cause issues with your car insurance due to “business use.” Just check your local laws, and check with your agent. I doubt you will have any issue at all. Most commercial vehicle enforcement is targeted at heavy trucks that cross state lines.
