Short answer: if your fleet wants a consistent, branded look with your company name and logo on every truck, a custom-printed decal, either the 90-day or the annual format, is the right choice. If you need a supply of inspection labels on hand today, ready to fill in by hand as each vehicle is inspected, a blank write-in pack is faster and does not require sending us artwork first. Most fleets end up using both: custom decals for the vehicle-facing branding, write-in packs for equipment or spot situations where a quick fill-in label is all that is needed.
Custom annual inspection decals (FHWA / FMCSA style)
Our FHWA & FMCSA annual inspection labels are printed to order with your company name, logo, and contact information, sized at 4" x 4" on 4.3-mil air-release vinyl with UV-resistant ink. Each one carries a 2026-2030 year grid with a month row and day circles, so the same label works across five inspection cycles rather than needing to be reordered every year. You choose an FMCSA or FHWA layout style and a color, black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, or pink, from 7 available colors, and a pack size from 10 up to 1,000 labels, with bulk pricing built in. At the 10-pack level, labels run $6.67 each; by 1,000 labels, that drops to $1.00 each. Custom brand colors are available on request if none of the 7 standard colors match your fleet's identity.
Custom 90-day BIT decals
Our custom 90-day BIT / DOT inspection decals follow the same personalized approach, with your company name and logo, in 6 colors (red, blue, green, yellow, white, or black), printed for any year from 2026 through 2031. These are built around California's 90-day inspection cycle but can be changed to a 30-day, 60-day, 180-day, or annual interval on request if your fleet runs a different schedule. Any custom color or wording change can be entered in the personalization section at checkout, and a free sample label is available before you commit to a full order.
Write-in inspection labels
Our DOT 90-Day inspection labels (also available in 50-pack and 100-pack sizes) skip personalization entirely. Each label measures 5.28" x 3.26" on the same weatherproof vinyl, with a white border around the printed area so the ink never reaches the die-cut edge, and blank fields meant to be filled in by hand or marker at the time of inspection rather than pre-printed with a company name. There is nothing to send us and nothing to proof before it ships, which makes this the faster option when you need labels in hand for an inspection happening this week, not a branding decision for the whole fleet.
How to actually decide
| Situation | Best fit |
|---|---|
| Fleet wants consistent branding across every truck | Custom annual or custom 90-day decal |
| Need labels on hand today, no logo or proof step | Write-in pack (25, 50, or 100) |
| Running the federal annual (12-month) cycle | FHWA/FMCSA annual label |
| Running California's 90-day BIT cycle | custom 90-day BIT decal or a write-in 90-day pack |
| Running both cycles on the same fleet | See how the annual and California 90-day inspections differ for how to keep the two labels visually distinct |
How ordering works
For either custom format, the process is the same: choose your style, color, and pack size on the product page and check out, then reply to your order confirmation email with your logo file (PNG, SVG, or PDF) and the exact company information you want printed. We print and ship from there, with bulk fleet ordering available for larger quantities, sequential unit numbering, or multi-address shipping on request. Write-in packs skip that step entirely since there is no artwork to submit, so they ship as a standard order.
A reminder on what the sticker actually does
Whichever format you choose, the label itself is a visual indicator, not the inspection. As the note on each of these product pages states plainly, compliance comes from a passed inspection performed by a qualified inspector (see who can perform the inspection) and proper record retention under the applicable rule (see how long an annual inspection is good for for the federal 14-month retention period, or how the annual and California 90-day inspections differ for California's two-year requirement). The decal just makes that inspection's status visible at a glance during a roadside stop or a terminal check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is cheaper, custom or write-in labels?
Write-in packs generally cost less per label since there is no personalization or logo setup, and they ship without a proofing step. Custom decals cost more per unit but give every truck a consistent, branded look.
Can I get the same design in both the 90-day and annual format?
Yes. Both our custom 90-day and annual decals are personalized separately, so you can order matching colors and branding across both if your fleet runs both cycles.
Do write-in labels need my logo or company info sent in?
No. Write-in packs ship as a standard blank label with fields meant to be filled in by hand, so there is nothing to submit before they ship.
How do I get bulk pricing for a large fleet?
Bulk pricing is built into the pack size options on both the custom annual and custom 90-day product pages. For fleets larger than the listed pack sizes, or for sequential unit numbering, contact us directly and we will set up the order.

About Wood Unlimited
We print DOT inspection and compliance labels on weatherproof vinyl, printed in Alabama, USA, for single trucks and full fleets. A label is a visual indicator on the vehicle. The inspection itself, performed by a qualified inspector and documented under the applicable rule, is what the regulation actually requires.
