A licensed contractor wants its company vehicles to comply with CSLB requirements. The vehicles used in the contracting business must display:
Explanation
§7029.6 requires every licensed contractor, except those named in §7029.5, to display the business name and the contractor's licence number in or on each motor vehicle used in the construction business for which a commercial vehicle registration fee has been paid — in a clearly visible location, in print of at least 72-point font or three-quarters of an inch in height and width. Two items, not three: the address in (a) is not one of them, and the officers in (b) belong on the licence record rather than on a truck. (c) keeps the type size and throws away the information, which defeats the purpose — a passer-by is meant to be able to read the number and check it against the board's record. The real trap is §7029.5, which is stricter for three classifications only: a C-36 plumbing, C-45 sign or C-57 well-drilling contractor must show the name, the permanent business address and the licence number on each side of the vehicle in letters at least one and a half inches high, and the same goes for a water-well drill rig.
