Do I need USDOT number stickers?

Commercial vehicle operators in interstate commerce, transporting passengers or cargo, must register with the FMCSA for a USDOT Number. Intrastate carriers handling hazardous materials requiring a safety permit also need a USDOT Number. Compliance with federal and state regulations, including registration and fuel tax rules, is essential. Before starting or expanding interstate operations, contact your state's transportation regulatory agency to understand specific requirements. Applicants must file proof of insurance and a Form BOC-3 (legal process agent) within 90 days, or the FMCSA will dismiss the application. Ensure proper insurance filings based on registration type for seamless compliance.

Alphabet Signs uses a pigmented vinyl so the color is not just on the surface of the vinyl letters but all the way through.

HOW TO APPLY TRUCK DECALS:
SO SIMPLE THEY'D THOUGHT A PRO DID IT!

When business owners purchase vinyl letter for their companies, many are left wondering how to properly apply the custom decal to a chosen surface. The process begins with preparing the area.

This will rid the surface of any harmful material that may be lingering around. Additionally, the room temperature should be between 45° and 90° Fahrenheit before beginning the application process. The target site for your lettering should not be too humid, as it could negatively impact the application.
