US DOT Stickers

Yes. Our USDOT stickers are designed to help commercial vehicles display required identification information clearly and professionally. It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to order the correct lettering size, color contrast, and information required for their specific vehicle and operation.

USDOT numbers and required carrier identification should be displayed on both sides of the power unit and be readily visible from at least 50 feet away during daylight hours, as required by FMCSA regulations. Most commercial vehicles display their decals on the driver and passenger doors. Always verify current requirements for your specific operation.

No. USDOT numbers and required carrier identification should generally be displayed on the power unit, not solely on a trailer. Most carriers install their decals on both sides of the truck cab where they can be easily seen during inspections and roadside enforcement activities.

No. Unless otherwise stated in the product description, USDOT stickers are sold individually. Most commercial vehicles require identification on both sides of the power unit, so customers typically purchase a quantity of two decals, one for the driver side and one for the passenger side.

Yes. Our USDOT stickers are sold individually, allowing you to purchase only the quantity you need. If your vehicle requires lettering on both sides, simply order two decals.

Common layouts include a company name and USDOT number, but many customers also add a city and state, MC number, GVW information, phone number, website, or company logo. We can create simple compliance decals or full custom layouts that work for both identification and advertising.

USDOT regulations require that carrier identification be legible from at least 50 feet away during daylight hours. Many commercial vehicles use 2-inch lettering to meet this requirement, but the proper size may vary depending on the font, vehicle color, and installation location. Your lettering should contrast clearly with the vehicle surface and remain easy to read from a distance.

Yes. Many trucking companies, contractors, RV transport operators, and fleet owners add their company logo to their USDOT decals. We can create custom layouts that combine required DOT information with professional branding.

Not all carriers require an MC number. Requirements vary based on the type of operation and authority held. Some customers only display a USDOT number, while others are required to display both USDOT and MC numbers.

Yes. Reflective USDOT decals are available for customers who want increased nighttime visibility. Reflective lettering is popular with trucking companies, towing companies, contractors, and fleet operators.

1. Clean the vehicle surface thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Dry the area completely before applying the decal.
3. Avoid wax, oil, dirt, silicone, or ceramic coatings where the decal will be installed.
4. Position the decal and use masking tape to create a hinge.
5. Slowly peel the backing paper away from the vinyl.
6. Use a squeegee or credit card to apply the decal from the center outward.
7. Remove the transfer tape slowly at a sharp angle.
8. Allow the adhesive to bond before washing the vehicle.

Vinyl decals should be installed in mild temperatures whenever possible. Avoid applying decals to very cold, hot, wet, dirty, or freshly waxed surfaces. For best results, install on a clean, dry vehicle surface in a controlled environment.

Vinyl USDOT stickers are made for outdoor vehicle use and can last for years when properly installed and cared for. Longevity depends on weather exposure, washing habits, road conditions, and surface preparation.

We do not recommend using a high-pressure washer directly on vinyl lettering or decals. High-pressure water can lift edges, damage lettering, or shorten the life of the decal. Hand washing or gentle vehicle washing is best.

Yes. We can create custom USDOT sticker layouts with logos, specialty fonts, multiple lines of text, city and state information, DOT and MC numbers, GVW lettering, and custom sizes for trucks, vans, pickups, dump trucks, car haulers, and fleet vehicles.

USDOT stickers are adhesive vinyl decals designed for permanent application. USDOT magnets are removable signs that stick to steel vehicle panels. Stickers are a good choice for dedicated commercial vehicles, while magnets are better for temporary use or vehicles that need removable DOT information.
