ELD In Use Decal for Trucks

An ELD in use sticker is a one-line decal that tells anyone who looks at the truck that it runs an electronic logging device. The sample prints ELD IN USE, and you can type other words in its place. We print exactly what you type, in the lettering color and sticker background you pick. Fleet owners, owner-operators and dispatchers use it on a cab door or a window. At 12 inches the decal is $18.99 each, and a Set of 2 at $37.98 gives you two identical decals, one for each side of the cab.

Pick a spot where a person standing beside the truck can read it without hunting: the lower corner of a cab door, a side window or the glass of the door. Measure the flat, clean area first. A 12 inch decal suits a small corner, while 18 or 24 inches fills a wide door panel. The plain decal is $24.99 at 18 inches and $32.99 at 24. Black lettering on a white or yellow sticker is easy to read on most paint, and white lettering on black works on a light door.

Here is what we found in the federal text. 49 CFR 395.8 says a carrier must install an ELD and have its drivers use one to record duty status, and 49 CFR 395.22 lists an ELD information packet that a driver must have on board. The ELD rules we read do not ask for a sticker or decal on the truck. So this decal is a notice to drivers, shippers or an inspector, and a choice you make for your fleet. It does not replace the packet or the device. Check FMCSA for current rules.

A contour cut at +$5 per decal trims the sticker in one piece to the outline of the letters, about 1/4 inch out, so no rectangle sits behind the words. Reflective film on a one-line decal adds +$5 at 12 inches, +$9 at 18 or +$15 at 24, so headlights show it after dark. You install it yourself with the printed sheet and 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. Fleet lettering lives on the fleet vehicle decals page.
