About this decal

A do not follow sticker is a two-line decal for construction and work-zone trucks that turn into areas closed to traffic. The sample reads DO NOT FOLLOW on the first line and CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE below it. You can change either line, and we print exactly what you type. The decal is $22.99 each. A Set of 2 at $45.98 puts an identical decal on both sides of one truck, or on two trucks in one order.

Think about the driver right behind the truck, because that driver is who reads this sticker. The tailgate or the rear panel is a practical place for it, with the decal kept off the tail lights, the license plate, the reflectors and the latch. Measure the flat area first, since 24 inches needs a wide panel and 12 inches suits a narrow tailgate. On a dark body, a white or yellow background keeps the sticker from blending into the paint, and black lettering on yellow is easy to read from a distance.

A decal can ask a driver not to follow the truck, but it cannot make that driver act on it. This sticker does not stop anyone from driving into a work area, and it does not replace the cones, barricades, flaggers or other traffic control a crew uses to close a lane. We make no claim that it prevents accidents. Treat it as a plain note on the back of the truck, and put the real effort into how the work zone is set up. For the signs and traffic control your job needs, check with FMCSA or your state agency, since rules can change.

A contour cut at +$5 per decal trims the sticker in one piece to the outline of the words, about 1/4 inch out. Reflective film is available for two lines at +$5 for 12 inches, +$9 for 18 inches or +$15 for 24 inches, and headlight beams pick out the words after dark. A Set of 2 at $45.98 covers both sides of the rear. You install it yourself, using the install page video. The 3-year guarantee replaces a decal that peels or comes off. Shipping is $7.99, or free on orders of $99 or more. See also the stay back decal.

Questions about this decal

Can I change the CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE line to a different job?

Yes. You can type a different second line, such as a crew name or a short description of the work, and we print exactly what you type. Keep the words short so they stay large enough to read at the width you pick. The preview on the page is the last look before printing, so read the whole line there before you pay. If the line runs long, choose 18 or 24 inches for more room.

Is a do not follow decal a traffic sign that drivers have to obey?

No. It is a vinyl sticker on your truck, not a traffic sign from an agency, and we make no claim that drivers must obey it. We also do not know of a rule that calls for this decal on a construction truck. If you want to know which signs or markings your work truck needs, check with FMCSA or your state agency, and ask the person who sets up traffic control on your jobs.

Is reflective film worth it for a do not follow decal on a work truck?

It depends on when the truck is working. Reflective film returns headlight beams toward the driver behind, so the words show after dark, whether the truck sits on a shoulder or works at night. Lighter backgrounds reflect more light than dark ones, so a white or yellow background is the stronger choice for night use. For two lines, reflective adds +$5 at 12 inches, +$9 at 18 and +$15 at 24. For film questions, use the contact page first.

Can I put a do not follow decal on the rear window of a work truck?

Our vinyl can go on glass, including a truck's rear window. Clean the glass well and follow the install sheet. For glass, the contour cut is a natural pick, because the words stand on the window with no rectangle around them. For a tinted window, ask us first through the contact form before you order.

How long does a do not follow decal take to arrive?

An order ships 1 to 2 days after you place it, and a tracking number is emailed when it goes out. Delivery usually takes 3 to 5 days after shipping, but we do not promise a delivery date. Shipping is $7.99 per order, or free on orders of $99 or more, judged before any discount. Lettering decals like this one have no proof step, so there is no proof email to wait for.
