Our numbers have gone grey. Do you recut just the numbers or redo the whole door?

Just the numbers, in most cases. What fades first is whatever has the most exposure and the least pigment behind it, and that is usually the digits rather than the whole layout. We take the tired pieces off, clean the shadow they leave and put fresh ones in the same footprint so nothing shifts.

How long should a set actually last?

Several seasons on a truck that lives outdoors, longer on one that is garaged, and the number that matters is not the warranty on the roll — it is when the marking stops being legible. That is the point at which it is a compliance problem rather than a cosmetic one, and it always arrives before the vinyl physically falls off.

Does running the truck through a wash tunnel shorten that?

A tunnel is gentler on vinyl than a hand wand, because the brushes push across the panel rather than driving water under an edge. What shortens a set is a pressure washer held close and square to the letters, and strong solvent cleaners. Ordinary soap and a tunnel are not the problem.

US DOT Truck Decals, Vinyl & Business Signs in Vernon Hills

Vernon Hills runs on distribution and retail logistics off Route 60, and the trucks moving it need markings that stay legible after a winter of salt. We cut US DOT and MC numbers, GVWR, trailer lettering and magnetic signs, same day, and re-cut a faded set on the spot.

Your sign company, right down the road from Vernon Hills

Vernon Hills grew around the Route 60 and Milwaukee Avenue crossing, and its trucks are mostly delivery and distribution work serving the retail corridor rather than over-the-road runs. Twenty-five minutes from the shop — same-day lettering if you can bring the vehicle, shipped if pulling a driver off the route is the expensive part.
