USDOT / MC / KYU Three-Line Decal

Built for a carrier that holds an MC number and runs Kentucky roads at a combined license weight above 59,999 pounds. USDOT sits on top, MC in the middle and KYU underneath, all on one solid rectangle. USDOT and MC both come from FMCSA, while KYU is Kentucky's weight-distance tax license from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. All three lines must be filled in on this product, so have each number in hand before you order.

The Kentucky weight table is the reason this product covers interstate carriers, not only local ones. The Cabinet lists the KYU license for 60,000 to 80,000 pounds of combined license weight, for intrastate and interstate carriers alike, so holding MC authority does not take a truck out of that group. If your combination sits near the line, work out your figure with the Cabinet before you order, because the decal shows your numbers and does not show your weight. The intrastate and interstate page has the table, and our KYU guide explains the license.

Whose number goes on the decal matters as much as which lines appear. The federal rule asks for the operating carrier's name and USDOT number. When another company's name also appears on the truck, the operating carrier's name and USDOT number must follow it, preceded by the words operated by. A for-hire carrier that runs leased trucks should therefore type the number of the carrier operating that particular truck. The operated by guide covers the wording, and 49 CFR 390.21 has the rule itself.

Each of the three lines takes a label and then the number. The builder sample reads USDOT 1234567, MC 890123 and KYU 123456, with up to 24 characters on every line. Widths are 12, 18 or 24 inches, and the background and lettering colors come from the same six and four choices as the other decals in the line. The decal is $25.99, and two matching decals as a Set of 2 are $51.98. A Contour cut adds $5 per decal and makes each line its own piece, cut close around its lettering. Expect a tracking email one or two days after the order, and the 3-year guarantee covers a decal that peels or comes off.
