Dumpster Rental Truck Decals for Roll-Off Trucks and Trailers

Dumpster rental truck decals go on the cab doors of the roll-off truck, and they should name the company and give a phone number that a customer can read while the truck is backing into a driveway. The containers are a separate lettering job. Door decals suit the truck, since ours are up to 24 inches wide. We make decals, not wraps.

The truck and the container say different things

A roll-off truck visits many addresses, and the container it leaves behind stays for days. People on the street read both, but for different reasons:

• The container stays put, so it can carry a longer message for anyone who walks past it.
• The truck is read in motion or while it maneuvers, so it needs a short, large message.

If you only have budget for one, start with the truck doors: the truck is the thing that moves from yard to yard. Container markings are a separate project that we do not cover here.

What the cab door should read

For a rental business, "dumpster rental" is the product, so the door can be literal:

• Company name.
• "Dumpster rental" or "Roll-off dumpsters," whichever term customers in your area use.
• Phone number, in the largest line you can fit.
• Optionally the city or county.

Skip dumpster sizes, prices and a long list of accepted materials. They change, and a vinyl door does not.

Sample text for the doors

All names and numbers here are made up.

Plain and quick. The Business Name + Phone decal is built for a name, a service line and a number:

• Bayfront Roll-Off
• Dumpster Rental
• (555) 018-2276

Name, city and the numbers. If the truck needs the carrier's registered name and number on the door, the Custom USDOT Logo puts your name, city, USDOT and MC on one decal at $26 per door. Whether a truck needs a USDOT number depends on weight and use, so read who needs a USDOT number first. Our display rules page explains where numbers go if one applies.

You can combine them, with a logo or phone decal in one spot and the number decal in another, since each is a separate decal.

The Roll-Off Container logo

The Roll-Off Container Dumpster Logo shows a green roll-off container icon above heavy black capitals. We fit your name to it and send a proof to approve before printing. It costs $120 per door.

The black lettering is wide and thick, so it holds up on a cab door. A name with a long second line, such as "dumpster rental," runs wide, so look at how it spans on the proof. If your name is already long, the icon still helps customers tell what you do, though a plain decal may fit better. The logo carries the name but not a phone number, so put the number on a separate decal.

Contour cut and when it matters

Add a contour cut for $10 per door on logo designs, and the decal is cut to the outline of the container and letters instead of a rectangle. Roll-off trucks come in white, yellow or a company color, and a contour cut helps most where a rectangle would not match the paint. Our lettering cost guide shows how the pieces add up.

Colors for a dirty working truck

A roll-off truck lives in dust and debris. Black lettering on a Yellow sticker background is the highest-contrast pairing among the standard colors, and it stays readable when the door is gritty. On a dark truck, use White lettering on a Black background. Red lettering on a Blue background tends to look muddy at distance, so test it in the builder first. The door builder previews each combination.

When a decal needs to come off

Trucks get sold, repainted and renamed. Our removal guide covers taking an old decal off before a new one goes on. For related fleets, see junk removal truck decals and dump truck decals.
