The good news so far is -- I've titled and licensed the truck! Wow -- a BUNCH of taxes! Federal tax exceeded 24K and state sales taxes of another 20K...

Then the girl at DOL says I must have a D.O.T. number... and hands me a pamphlet. Crap! Okay -- I come home and go to the website to attempt to register on line for the number. EVERYTHING is asking me about commercial carrier stuff. I give up - - Call the Washington State Patrol... I get the nicest most helpful officer in the entire UNIVERSE!

He tells me I don't need a CDL nor do I need any DOT numbers or anything else special... AS LONG AS I'M NON-Commercial and towing a "recreational vehicle" (lucky I have living quarters) and that I should paint "PRIVATE NOT FOR HIRE" on the doors or side of the tow vehicle. He says that alone will get me a free pass. DONE.

Welcome, I also have black background magnetic film (sorry no white) if you could get away with magnetic signage.

I have some really special rainbow shaded vinyl too.

That said do you have renderings of the paint scheme to share yet?

Ass gas or grass theme..........

What do you think about some signage like: "Ass, Grass, or Gas.... Nobody rides for free"


Would that make me "commercial".... I dunno...
