I have a question regarding 172.606(b)(1). On the front drivers side radius of our trailers is our trailer FMCSA Annual Inspection sticker(see pictures below). On that sticker is our company name-address-phone number for our company. Does this meet the required location and phone number requirements for when our trailers are separated from its motive power when loaded with hazardous materials?
