Truck Door Decals and Graphics: Full-Art Door Sets

Truck door decals and graphics from Work Decals come as a full-art door set: two matching illustrated decals, one for each door, at $189 per set. Each decal is about 18 inches wide and shows a drawn truck scene with your company name and USDOT number fitted into the design. We email a proof before anything prints, so you see your own name in the artwork first.

Set, lettering decal or logo decal?

We make three kinds of door decal, and they do different jobs.

• Lettering decal: a solid rectangle in the sticker color you choose, with your lines of text printed on it and no artwork. The USDOT Decal Sticker is $18.99 per decal, so $37.98 for two doors.
• Logo decal: one of over 100 ready-made logo designs with your company name fitted in, $120 per door. See truck logo design.
• Full-art set: a finished illustrated panel with the truck, the name area and the number band already laid out, $189 for the pair.

A set is for the owner who wants a finished look. For plain lettering, see rectangular decals versus die-cut letters.

The style families

The door sets shop lists more than 30 designs. Every name in the pictures is a made-up sample, and yours replaces it.

• Tow-truck looks: five sets put a wrecker or flatbed in the scene, from forest green with pines in Everpine Towing to black and orange, navy and desert tones. See tow truck door decals.
• Patriotic: navy, red and white with stars and flag artwork, such as Valor Axle and Freedom Line. See patriotic truck door decals.
• Vintage and western: cream paper tones, speckled ink and long-nose trucks. See vintage door decals.
• Premium gold: black with gold trim, crowns and laurel in Royal Axle. See gold door decals.
• Modern and minimal: flat color, no scenery, so the name does the work. See modern door decals.
• Scenic, bold and sport: Evergreen Freight, Sunset Trail and Arctic Line put a landscape behind the truck, while Redstone Carriers and Midnight Haul go for speed and contrast.

What you send, and what the proof shows

On the product page you enter your company name, your USDOT number and, if you have one, your MC number. There is no artwork to upload. We fit those to the design and email a proof, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

Many designs have a name area built for one big word over a short word, such as a name over Towing or Freight. A long name gets smaller letters or a split across two lines, and the numbers usually share a band along the bottom. If you have no MC number, say so when you order.

On the proof, check the name letter by letter and every digit of the USDOT number.

What the numbers must do

The federal marking rule, 49 CFR 390.21, asks a covered vehicle to show the carrier's legal name or a single trade name and its USDOT number on both sides, in letters that contrast sharply and can be read from 50 feet in daylight while the truck is stopped. A set carries a name and a USDOT number on two matching decals. The rule sets no letter height, and FMCSA says no marking requirement exists for the MC number.

Whether your truck is covered depends on weight and use, and you are responsible for compliance. In a set the numbers fill only part of the artwork, so if reading from a distance is your main worry, a lettering decal puts the numbers first. See USDOT number display rules.

Fit, color and price

Tape a rectangle about 18 inches wide on each door and check the handle, window trim and seams. Pick a panel that contrasts with the paint: a dark panel stands out on a white door, and a light one on a dark door.

One set is $189, so shipping is free, while two logo doors come to $240. The vinyl is 3M and Oracal, install is DIY, and the 3-year guarantee replaces a decal that peels or comes off.
