What we cut
What we guarantee
Every order includes a spec sheet recording the lettering we cut: the text, letter height and contrast pairing. It does not determine your vehicle's obligations, so check each marking against your operation before ordering.
The federal rule sets no universal minimum letter height — it sets a legibility standard, and 2 inches is our recommendation for meeting it. Choose lettering that meets the applicable dimensions and readability rules, and check the installed result.
Requirements by state
State requirements vary by operation. Some use USDOT identification, some add state identifiers or carrier information, and some require official credentials. Use the guide for your state before choosing lettering.
