Receiving an MTO Schedule 1 deficiency notice for GVW decal non-compliance can be a serious issue for fleet operators. Ensuring your commercial vehicles are properly marked with the correct Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) decal is essential for legal compliance and safe road operations. The MTO requires that all commercial vehicles operating in Ontario display the GVW decal clearly and accurately on the rear of the vehicle.

If your fleet has been flagged for this deficiency, the first step is to review the specific requirements outlined in the MTO regulations. The GVW decal must include the vehicle's gross weight in kilograms and be affixed in a visible location. It's important to verify that the decal is not damaged, faded, or obscured by other markings.

Once you've confirmed the decal is compliant, ensure it's properly applied and visible to enforcement officers. If you're unsure about the correct specifications or need assistance with decal placement, consult with a compliance specialist or use a trusted service that provides accurate, compliant decal solutions. Remember, customer-supplied artwork is printed as-is, so accuracy in your design is key.
