⚖ PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Keep Your Pickup Truck Road-Legal — Without Taking a Day Off

Ontario's Highway Traffic Act Section 190 requires commercial vehicles to display the operator's name, municipality, and CVOR number in characters legible from 60 metres. For tradespeople running a pickup — landscapers, plumbers, electricians, contractors — that means properly sized lettering on both cab doors. Our cut-vinyl door lettering kits are built to the published HTA Section 190 legibility standard and ship within 24 hours, so your truck is back earning the next morning.

What You Get

Both cab doors covered — cut, weeded, and transfer-taped, ready to apply straight out of the envelope.

  • Operator name, municipality, and CVOR number lettered to HTA Section 190 size and spacing requirements
  • High-contrast cut-vinyl characters in your choice of colour — black, white, or reflective white
  • Transfer tape pre-applied; no additional tools or materials required
  • Driver and passenger door sets included in a single kit
  • Made in Canada on commercial-grade cast automotive vinyl

How It Works

Order online, enter your operator name, municipality, and CVOR number at checkout — no back-and-forth emails. We cut your lettering the same business day and ship within 24 hours via Canada Post or courier. Installation takes under 30 minutes: clean the door surface, peel, position, squeegee, and pull the transfer tape. No installer to book, no truck sitting idle.

  • Enter your details at checkout — production starts immediately
  • Cut and shipped within 24 hours of order
  • Step-by-step installation guide included in every package
  • Align with a tape measure against the door seam; the transfer tape keeps every character straight

Why It Works

Cheap decals peel after one Ontario salt season. Our lettering is cut from premium cast automotive vinyl, manufacturer-rated for durability of up to 7 years exterior — engineered to hold through freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and repeated automatic washes. Character height and spacing are set directly to the published HTA Section 190 legibility spec, the same standard MTO enforcement officers reference, so the guesswork is removed from the process. And because transfer-tape installation lets you register the letters against a fixed edge before committing, a straight, professional result doesn't require a professional installer.

  • Cast automotive vinyl — made from premium materials, manufacturer-rated for durability of up to 7 years exterior
  • Built to withstand Ontario winters, road salt, and automatic car washes
  • Character sizing and spacing built to the published HTA Section 190 legibility standard
  • Transfer tape application keeps alignment consistent — no experience required
  • Printed and cut in Canada using Canadian materials
