Custom Semi Trucks Ideas

Semi trucks and their drivers are backbone of the American supply chain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t inject some personality into your rig. After all, your truck is a testament to your truck‘s personality and can earn you the adoration of fellow truckers. These are just a few of the ways you can decorate your semi-truck.

Your truck is your workplace. It’s also your home away from home. Why not make it reflect you? Custom graphics show off your interests and personality. With this app, you can turn a simple idea into the truck of your dreams.

A semi-tractor-trailer truck, also known as simply a semi-trailer truck, semi-tractor truck, semi-tractor-trailer or tractor-trailer truck, is the combination of a tractor unit and one or more semi-trailers to carry freight. A semi-trailer attaches to the tractor with a type of hitch called a fifth-wheel.

It is variously known as a transport truck, semi-truck, trailer truck, tractor truck, transfer truck, articulated truck, articulated lorry (UK), artic, single truck, semi-trailer, tractor-trailer, semi-tractor, semi, trailer, tractor, big rig, eighteen-wheeler, juggernaut, depending on the country and region.

How much does it cost to paint a semi-truck?
Depending on how big your rig is, and how detailed you want to be, a custom paint job can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000. And be sure you pick the right color/design, because chances are you won’t want to repaint it again for a long time.

Obviously, you can’t paint your tractor-trailer if you’re driving a fleet vehicle. But if you’re an owner-operator taking unmarked cargo up and down the interstate, there’s no reason you can’t deck out your custom semi-truck with a unique color.

You can go as simple as switching the paint from one color to another or go all-in with hand-painted designs. Though, have good judgment when painting your tractor-trailer, as that color will also represent the company you’re hauling for. Chances are there are companies that don’t want bright pink semi-trucks hauling their loads.

If you want a cheaper way to add some personality to the truck, consider throwing a sticker on the back of your trailer. A personal favorite of mine is “passing side” on the left and “suicide” on the right.

Remember, your truck is your home on wheels, and it’s important for any owner-operator to make it exactly what it needs to be for personal style and constant safety. There are some truly excellent custom semi trucks out there, so get creative, enjoy and have fun!
