Conspicuity DOT-C2 Tape is Now Offered through 5SToday.com
Lake Oswego, OR (PRWEB) July 05, 2013 -- Many businesses have their own fleet of truck tractors or trailers that deliver and pick up merchandise to sustain their business. The FMCSA has regulations requiring the use of conspicuity materials such as retro reflective sheeting or reflectors on trailers and the rear of truck tractors. The rules are intended to reduce the number of motorists crashing into the sides or rear of trailers at nighttime and under other conditions of reduced visibility, and to reduce the number of motorists rear-ending truck tractors operating without trailers under the same conditions. 5Stoday.com is now offering Conspicuity DOT-C2 tape for marking vehicles and providing clear warning to oncoming motorists as well as pedestrians.
The tape offered through 5Stoday.com offers exceptional benefits, far exceeding NHTSA requirements. It is available in widths of 2 inches and 30 foot and 150 foot rolls in red/white spacing’s or white only. Federal regulations require all tractor trailers exceeding 10,000 lbs. be marked with alternating red and white DOT approved 2 inch wide (minimum) conspicuity tape along at least 50% of their lengths and entirely across their back ends. Solid white tape is required to mark the upper rear corners of trailers by placing two 2”x12” segments together to form an inverted “L” in each corner. The bright color and high reflectivity is ideal not only for trailers but is very popular for non DOT applications such as motorcycles, bikes, and other vehicles. Application is easy to apply to all surfaces and can be used outdoors in even the most extreme environments. 5Stoday.com’s conspicuity tape has a long lasting 7 year life span due to its aggressive adhesive and is DOT approved.
An owner of a fleet of trucks commented, “As an owner of a fleet of trucks, I feel assured and confident we are in compliance with Federal regulations. The conspicuity tape provides safety to our drivers and other motorists.”
