Vehicle Lettering, Decals & DOT Numbers for South Florida Businesses
The fastest, most affordable way to put your business on the road. Cut vinyl lettering, logo decals, USDOT compliance numbers, magnets, and trailer graphics — designed, cut, and installed in our Hollywood shop. When you're ready for full coverage, we do commercial wraps too.
Your Name, Number, and Logo — On Every Door
Cut vinyl lettering is the working backbone of vehicle branding: company name, phone number, license numbers, website, and logo, computer-cut from solid-color vinyl and applied to the panels people actually see — cab doors, tailgates, rear windows, and box sides. It reads clean at a stoplight, survives the wash bay, and costs a fraction of a wrap.
Broward runs on work trucks. Every roofer, HVAC tech, pool company, and landscape crew on I-95 and 441 is either advertising with their vehicle or driving an anonymous truck past thousands of potential customers a day. Lettering is the cheapest way to stop being anonymous — and unlike the letters from a discount sticker shop, we cut professional-grade exterior vinyl that's built to hold its color in South Florida sun instead of chalking and peeling at the edges after one summer.

Where lettering goes to work
USDOT Numbers, Done to Spec
If your truck operates under a USDOT number, the federal marking rule — 49 CFR 390.21 — spells out exactly how it has to be displayed. Here's the plain-English version of what the regulation requires:
Minimum 2-inch letters
Your legal business name and USDOT number must appear in characters at least 2 inches tall.
Contrasting color
The lettering must contrast sharply with the panel behind it — white on a dark truck, black on a white one.
Readable at 50 feet
The marking must be legible from 50 feet away in daylight while the vehicle is stationary.
Both sides of the power unit
The marking goes on both sides of the tractor or truck — one door is not enough.
Permanently affixed
The display must be permanent. Magnetic signs and paper placards do not satisfy the rule.
Name + numbers together
Legal name (or registered trade name) plus USDOT number — and MC number where your authority requires it.
Non-compliance isn't a parking ticket — federal fines can accrue per violation per day, and an out-of-spec marking is one of the easiest things for an inspector to spot at a weigh station or a Port Everglades gate. For the delivery and drayage fleets running the port and airport corridors every day, compliant lettering is the cheapest insurance on the truck.
Where we fit: we cut lettering that meets the 2-inch, contrasting-color, 50-foot spec as a baseline, in permanent exterior vinyl, sized and placed for your specific vehicle. What we don't do is interpret the regulations for your operation — requirements vary by authority type and state. Confirm your specific obligations with FMCSA or FLHSMV, then bring us the numbers and we'll put them on the truck correctly.
Magnetic Signs — Branding You Can Take Off
Running the business out of your personal truck? Magnetic signs give you door branding during work hours and a clean vehicle on the weekend. We print and laminate magnetics with the same exterior-grade materials as our decals, cut to fit your door panels — a real sign, not a flimsy mail-order rectangle that flies off on the highway.
On when you work
Full-color company branding on the doors during business hours.
Off when you don't
Pull them off for personal use, HOA parking, or reselling the vehicle.
Swap between vehicles
One set of magnets moves between trucks with matching panels.
Compliance note: magnetic signs do not satisfy USDOT display rules — the federal marking regulation requires the name and number to be permanently affixed. If your operation needs a DOT number on the vehicle, that part gets cut in permanent vinyl; magnets can carry the rest of your branding around it.
Trailer Lettering — The Billboard You Already Own
An enclosed trailer is the biggest flat advertising surface in your fleet, and most of them roll around South Florida blank. Lettering and logo decals turn the trailer you already tow to every jobsite into a sign that works while it's parked in front of the customer's house — which, for a contractor, is exactly where the neighbors are looking.
What we letter
Trailers pulled under commercial authority may need their own compliance markings — same drill as the truck: confirm the requirement with FMCSA, and we'll cut it to spec. Boat lettering, registration numbers, and hull graphics live on our marine wraps page.
Lettering, Partial Wrap, or Full Wrap?
Three tiers of the same idea — put the business on the vehicle. The right one depends on budget, how far you want the branding to go, and how long the vehicle stays in the fleet.

Built for Broward's Working Fleet
From a single pickup to a delivery fleet — if the vehicle earns money, lettering makes it earn attention too.
Contractors & Trades
Roofers, electricians, pool techs, GCs. Hurricane season fills every schedule in Broward — a lettered truck at one jobsite books the next three houses on the street.
HVAC & Plumbing
Service vans live in residential neighborhoods all day. Name, number, and license info on the doors turns every service call into local advertising.
Landscaping & Lawn Care
Truck plus trailer is a rolling two-piece billboard. Letter both and the whole rig sells the route while it works it.
Realtors
Clean, elegant lettering or a rear-window decal — professional presence at every showing and open house without wrapping a personal car.
Food Trucks
Menu boards, logos, and social handles that survive kitchen heat and daily wipe-downs. When you're ready for full coverage, that's a wrap conversation.
Delivery Fleets
Port Everglades and airport-corridor operators: branding plus DOT compliance lettering, consistent across every unit that rolls through the gate.
How Lettering Works
Proof
Send us your logo, numbers, and what the vehicle is — or just call. We lay out the lettering on your exact make and model and send a proof. You approve it before anything gets cut, and we confirm your install timeline with the proof.
Cut / Print
Approved artwork gets computer-cut from professional exterior vinyl, or printed and laminated for full-color decals. Materials chosen for South Florida sun — not the bargain film that fades by next summer.
Install
Panels are cleaned and decontaminated, lettering is aligned and applied in our Hollywood shop. Straight lines, correct spacing, no bubbles — then a final inspection before you drive off branded.
