US Decals Supporting The Salvation Army Organization

Posted by Andres Espinoza · April 23, 2018

We had the pleasure on collaborating with The Salvation Army, a non-profit organization in Hollister, California. Together we designed dozens of decals to fit their specific needs, from minivans, large 15 passenger vans, to emergency canteen response food trucks. I was delighted when the Salvation Army reached out to us because we are aware of their mission and agree with their values, to help the less fortunate. We’re always striving to create relationships within our community, don’t hesitate to reach out to us in regards to your organizations needs. We look forward to working with you.

Do I Need A US DOT Number?

Posted by Andres Espinoza · April 23, 2018

If you’re transporting passengers, hauling cargo, transporting hazardous materials in interstate commerce you must have a USDOT number. Also if your truck has a gross vehicle weight ratio of 10,001 pounds or more.

You also need a USDOT number if the vehicle is designed to transport more than 8 passengers for pay or if the vehicle is used to transport more than 15 passengers not for pay such as a school or church event.

This only applies if the vehicle is involved in interstate commerce, such as trade, traffic between two states.

Why Should I Display My Business Name or Website Outside of My Truck?

Posted by Andres Espinoza · April 16, 2018

Displaying your website or business name on the outside of your truck can be an amazing asset to your business. If you ever used Google Adwords or Microsoft Bing Ads to promote your business you know how expensive and complicated it can be. A well-advertised vehicle can deliver up to 200 impressions per hour in a busy city or town. Picture this, you own a roofing or a transportation company and park your truck outside a busy shopping mall. Hundreds of people will pass by your truck and some might visit your website and book a service.

What Decals Does A First Time Trucker Need?

Posted by Andres Espinoza · April 09, 2018

For starters, we always recommend to have your business or company name displayed outside of the truck (this is required), it’s always a safe bet to display the city and state you plan to operate out of.

You’ll also need a US DOT number and front truck numbers to display your truck number. An electronic logs on board decal will be required in 2018. A fire extinguisher inside decal is also required to be displayed on the drivers side.

Furthermore, you might consider decals such as IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CHECK SLEEPER or DIESEL FUEL only for many reasons.
