What these are for

USDOT number decals display the carrier's legal name and USDOT identification number on both sides of a self-propelled commercial motor vehicle, which is how the vehicle is identified during an inspection or roadside stop.

The rule behind it

Marking of self-propelled commercial motor vehicles is governed by 49 CFR §390.21, which requires the carrier's legal name or a registered trade name and the USDOT number, displayed on both sides of the vehicle, in a color that contrasts with the background and is legible from 50 feet in daylight while the vehicle is stationary.

Ideal For

• New authority holders marking a truck for the first time
• Owner-operators re-lettering after an authority or name change
• Fleet managers standardizing door markings across a fleet
• Leasing companies marking vehicles per carrier

Applying them

Clean and dry the surface first — the permanent adhesive bonds to painted metal, glass, and smooth plastic, but not through wax, oil, or road film. Apply at room temperature and press firmly from the center outward.

FAQ

What has to appear on a USDOT number decal?
Under 49 CFR §390.21, a self-propelled CMV must display the carrier's legal name (or a registered trade name) and the USDOT number, on both sides of the vehicle.

How legible does the marking have to be?
49 CFR §390.21 requires the marking to contrast with its background and be readable from 50 feet in daylight while the vehicle is stationary.

How many decals do I need per truck?
The rule requires the marking on both sides of the vehicle, so a single power unit needs two — which is why we offer a 2-pack.

What size are these decals?
Each decal is 12" x 3", printed on 4.3 mil weatherproof vinyl with permanent adhesive — sized so the marking is legible from 50 feet as the rule requires.

Are these printed with my company name and USDOT number?
Yes — these are personalized with your DOT number, company legal name, and MC number. Reply to your order confirmation email with the exact legal name and numbers you want printed, so the marking matches your authority record.

Does having the decal make me compliant?
The marking is one requirement among many. Displaying it correctly satisfies the marking rule; it does not affect your authority status, insurance filings, or inspection obligations.

What surface should these go on?
Typically the driver and passenger door panels. Apply to clean, dry, smooth painted metal — remove wax and road film first so the adhesive bonds.

Will they fade or peel in the weather?
They are printed on 4.3 mil weatherproof vinyl with UV-resistant ink and permanent adhesive, rated for outdoor use.

Note on compliance: These decals are visual indicators only. Compliance requires a passed inspection by a qualified inspector and proper record retention under the applicable rule.
