Truck Lettering Near Me

If you searched for truck lettering near me, here is the plain answer: Work Decals is based in Los Angeles, California, but it is not a shop you can drop into. Orders are placed online, shipped within the United States, and applied by you with the instructions and video in the package. If you would rather have someone else put the decals on, a local sign or vehicle-graphics shop can apply decals you receive from us.

How an online order works

1. Choose a decal. Pick a ready-made layout in the shop, or build your own in the door builder. A live preview shows your lines, colors and width on a truck door as you type.
2. Check it before you pay. Lettering is made exactly as you enter it, so read the preview closely: it is what we make. For the ready-made logo designs, which are $120 per door, we fit your company name to the design and send a proof to approve before printing.
3. Wait for tracking. Shipping is $5.99 flat, or free at $99 and over, counted before discounts. A tracking number is emailed one to two days after you order.
4. Apply it yourself. A printed instruction sheet and a link to the install video come in the package.

Online order or a sign shop visit?

They solve different problems, so here is the comparison in general terms.

An online order gives you a price on screen while you build, no appointment, and a decal you can plan around. The costs are waiting for shipping and doing the application yourself. We do not promise a delivery date: it depends on the carrier and your address, and the tracking page shows the carrier's latest estimate.

A visit to a local shop puts a person next to your truck, and some shops will letter it for you. The costs can include the drive, the wait for a quote and time without the truck. For prices to expect either way, see how much truck lettering costs.

If a truck has to be marked by a set day, allow for shipping, or ask a local shop what it can do on that timeline.

If you would rather someone else applies it

A local sign or vehicle-graphics shop is the usual answer. We do not name or recommend any shop, so here is what to ask before you commit:

• Will you apply decals you did not print, and what do you charge for that?
• How long does the truck need to stay with you?
• Will you measure and mark the spot before peeling anything?

Order first, so the shop knows the exact width and lines. Ship the order to an address where you can receive it, then bring the package and the instruction sheet along. Our guarantee does not cover removal and reapplication, so ask the installer to place the decal once and carefully. The install checklist and the step-by-step install guide show what a good job looks like.

DOT decals and USDOT decals near me: what location changes

A USDOT decal is lettering of a name and a number. It works the same whether it was made near you or across the country, and what matters is typing your legal name and number exactly as registered. The federal rule, 49 CFR 390.21, asks for both on both sides of the truck, in letters that contrast sharply and can be read from 50 feet in daylight.

Start with DOT number stickers for trucks to compare layouts, or go straight to the USDOT Decal Sticker. Our USDOT number display rules explain the rest. A work truck that only needs a name and phone number can use the Business Name + Phone Number Decal. Browse everything on custom truck decals.
