Company name and USDOT number decal — set of 2

Truck door lettering, done to the rule: legal name and USDOT number on a single panel, both doors, cut to be legible from 50 feet in daylight while stationary. That is the standard in 49 CFR 390.21, and it is a legibility requirement rather than a letter height.

This is the marking an interstate carrier actually needs. The rule asks for the carrier's legal name or a single trade name and the USDOT number — a number on its own does not satisfy it.

Sold as a pair. Both doors, one price, cut from one file so the two sides match.

Your name has to match the FMCSA record

Not your DBA, not the name on your invoices, not a shortened version that fits better. The name on the door has to be the name on your FMCSA record.

Name mismatch is the most common marking violation there is, and it is entirely avoidable. If you are unsure what your record says, check it before you order. It costs nothing and it is faster than a remake.

Choosing lines and size

Two lines fits a name and the USDOT number. Three adds city and state. Four adds one more line — a DBA, an MC number where a shipper requires it, or a fleet unit number.

Longer names need a wider panel, not smaller letters. If what you send will not fit at 2 inches we will tell you rather than shrink it, because letter height is the part the standard actually cares about.
