Don't forget the IFTA (International Free Trade Agreement) Sticker.



It changes color every year... Like your registration stickers for your license plates.

Travis is correct. I always thought it was for "International Free Trade Agreement". Now I know I was wrong.

As I've heard before, it's mostly there just to see "IFTA have it, or IFTA don't"

Puc numbers on trucks in pa, Pennsylvania utilities commission. Yea, it's weird, my dad use to haul coal and said the utilities commission way back in the past thought they got short changed in some government stuff so to make me happy Pennsylvania came up with having the utilities commission be involved with interstate trucking. Correct me if I'm wrong you guys that know , but I never really looked into it but that sounds like what government would do. Oh and dot (department of transportation) numbers. And I'm not sure about trucking companies but contractors in pa now have to have another number visible on any advertising , susposta be on your door if your company name there.

Sorry but I'm discussed with all the #s that gov makes you have! they all are for one purpose---$$.

Back in the day we had "bingo tags", basically a sticker for verifying you payed fuel/road taxes for various states/areas that you ran, those were replaced by IFTA if I remember right.

Yep... I remember Those plates on all trucks when I was growing up. Always thought they were over-kill by the D.O.T.



IFTA seems like a better system. Different anyways.
