CONCURRING OPINION
STORCKMAN, Judge.
With my concurrence I wish to note that all commercial motor vehicles are required by law to display in a conspicuous place on both sides thereof the name of the owner and the address from which such motor vehicle is operated. Section 301.330, RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S. A commercial motor vehicle is one designed or regularly used for carrying freight and merchandise, or more than eight passengers. Section 301.-010, subd. 1, RSMo 1959. Logically these legal requirements should at least furnish a basis for a presumption or inference that the person whose name appears on a commercial motor vehicle is the owner of it. It is not necessary to hold otherwise in this case and the opinion should not be so interpreted.
