Payload Capacity Decal

One line of wording about how much a truck can carry, set up in the builder as PAYLOAD 2,000 LBS in black on a yellow sticker. Change it to your own figure and phrasing, such as MAX LOAD or CAPACITY, and the preview shows the result on a truck door. The decal is a solid rectangle of 3M or Oracal vinyl and it prints exactly what you type. It is $18.99 per decal, and the Set of 2 option is $37.98.

Be clear about what this is. It is a lettered decal that you write. It is not a manufacturer's certification label and it does not replace one, so leave the maker's label where it is. The figure has to come from the vehicle's own label, the owner's manual or the paperwork from whoever built or upfitted the body. We cannot check a number for you, and we do not say that any rule requires a payload decal. It is a reminder for the people who load the truck, and the figure on it is your responsibility.

Payload is not the same number as GVWR. GVWR is the manufacturer's maximum loaded weight for the whole vehicle, as 49 CFR 390.5T puts it, and payload is a separate figure, so we publish no formula for it. If you want the rating on the door instead, the GVW decal is $18.99, and our weight sticker guide explains the labels and the two states where a weight display is verified. To show a GVW line under a USDOT number on one rectangle, the USDOT / MC / CA / GVW four-line decal is built for that.

The line holds up to 28 characters, so PAYLOAD 2,000 LBS, at 17, fits easily. Other examples are MAX LOAD 3,000 LBS and CAPACITY 4,000 LBS. Never print a number higher than the maker's figure, because someone may load to what the door says. If you add a body, a rack or a heavy tool box later, ask the maker or the shop that did the work whether the figure changes before you print. It is $18.99 at 12, 18 or 24 inches wide, and it suits a flatbed, a dump truck or a box truck panel that is flat and clean.
