If all your pulls are going to be one day and you won't be keeping the car and trailer at a hotel overnight no worries putting whatever you want on it. HOwever as has been said before why advertise that you have a Porsche in your easily stolen trailer. Yes trailers are easily stolen. Everytime you hear about a stolen racecar, it was in a trailer sitting somewhere.

Putting stickers on your trailer will soon make you a MAGNET for DOT cops. They are pulling folks over left and right here lately - with racers seeming to be big targets - along with anyone towing a bobcat with a dually and having a business placard on the side of the truck <--- THAT is definitely commercial.
However, if you start acting like a business, or if you register your truck to a business and you get pulled over - you are going to get parked.
We had a fellow amateur racer get pulled over pulling a 48' Pace (?) with living quarters behind a Freightliner FL-70. He had stickers on it from his bagel business. not sure how it was registered.
Anyway - HEFTY fine and had to wait until someone with a CDL could come pick him up.
Our mechanic has been talking to some DOT guys and local cops - there is definitely a movement underway to target these "illegal" rigs - and most likely - add a source of revenue.
It matters NOT how heavy you are - it matters if you have anything registered to a business, or, if you "look" professional - i.e. team logo and stickers - you are asking for a HUGE hassle.

That's why I am going to keep mine plain jane and it is registered to me. The only thing I was thinking I may put on there would be the "private" or "Not for Hire" on the trailer.
