About this decal

Our North Carolina decal prints your USDOT number followed by NC, such as USDOT 1234567 NC, on one line with no company name. The rule we follow is North Carolina General Statute 20-101(b). As we read the rule, it asks owners of vehicles over 26,000 lb GVWR that run in intrastate commerce to show the USDOT number followed by NC on both sides. Each decal is $18.99, and the live preview shows it on a truck door before you order.

The statute appears to cover owners of vehicles over 26,000 lb GVWR operating in intrastate commerce. Vehicles subject to Part 390 of the federal rules, or to the statute's exceptions, follow those instead, and carriers regulated by the NC Utilities Commission follow its own rule. Confirm which group your truck is in with the NC State Highway Patrol or NC DMV before you order. Read the statute at G.S. 20-101 on ncleg.gov, and see our North Carolina requirements guide.

The decal prints one line and no company name. If the statute's wording also calls for the owner name on the truck, the Company Name + USDOT Decal puts the name and number on one rectangle for $27.99. Federal marking rules in 49 CFR 390.21 are the other set to check, especially if your truck also crosses state lines.

Shipping, install and guarantee

Shipping is $7.99 per order, free over $99, with tracking by email one or two days after you order. Install is DIY with a printed sheet and video link in the box. A 3-year guarantee covers a free replacement if it peels or comes off. Details: shipping, install, refunds and returns.

Questions about this decal

Does a North Carolina truck need the NC decal?

As we read North Carolina General Statute 20-101(b), owners of vehicles over 26,000 lb GVWR that operate in intrastate commerce should display a USDOT number followed by NC. Vehicles under the federal rules follow those instead. The NC State Highway Patrol and NC DMV can confirm how the statute applies to your truck before you order.

How big does the NC lettering have to be?

The statute, as we read it, asks for letters at least 3 inches high on both sides of the vehicle. Before you order, check the decal size in the live preview and confirm with the NC DMV that the height meets that 3-inch figure. The width and colors are yours to pick in the builder.

Where on a North Carolina truck does the NC decal go?

As we read the rule, the marking goes on both sides of the vehicle. Doors are the common choice, and the number should stand out from the paint. Our guide to where to put a USDOT number on a truck covers placement and common mistakes.

They were super easy to work with and even did a custom decal order for me that shipped with my truck decals. The designs were made to order and adjustments were made as requested. Great response times as well. Extremely pleased with my order!
