Have you ever considered lettering your own truck? How hard can it really be? Well, we’re here to answer this question.
Do it yourself truck lettering is possible, but the end result is not what you might expect. First, you have to go to the hardware store and hope that they have all of the characters. At this point, you will be paying for a low-quality pre-printed sticker. Depending on how many characters there are in your business name, location, usdot, mc, gvw that’s how much you will be paying, per piece. If you can’t find all of the characters you will have to improvise and end up with a horrible unprofessional looking finish. Please look at the example below.
At this point, you’ve spent a lot of money buying individual characters and you have placed them crooked on your commercial vehicle. You could debate that your truck is DOT compliant, but does it look professional? If anything, you will look unprofessional to the general public and to your business partners which matters the most.
You’re already paying to be in the trucking industry, why not pay for professional custom truck lettering decals and help grow your business.
If you have any questions, our team would be more than happy to help.
We look forward to having your business.
