Try White lettering or maybe yellow to match your logo
Web site bigger - all the way up to the 4x sticker which I would remove
Phone number lower on the panel - like besides the tire, also larger

You might want to look into a full wrap

Black doesn't show up real well, either a background around the text, or a different text color would be in order. Keep in mind that the bottom of the door is likely to get covered in mud when the snow melts here before long, and black text is going to blend in.
Maybe increase the size of the text on the door so that "Battle" is farther up beside the door handle- Maybe use the space that gives you to make "builders" the same text size as the rest of the logo.

Here is a photo chop of a mixture of what SLS and I said (I used the picture from the tire thread)

loll its gotta be attractive too tho!

Why not use your logo (which I assume is your avatar) and place it on the door, from the door handle forward.
I think the website and Phone number are important, but the logo seems like it would be most important. This way, people that see your truck, but didn't get the number, will remember the logo and find you online?

I like the idea of the logo on your door. Knock out the standard background and let the red show through. Make it big and bold.

On your web site address, you could capitalize the initial B, R, & B to make it easier to read while moving.

As an aside, at some racing organizations in the distant past, we were not allowed to have black numbers on a red car. It was too hard for Timing & Scoring to read at high speeds. The rule was to treat red paint like black and we had to use light colored numbers. That may also make sense when you're advertising on vehicles. I like the look of the black on the red, it just may not be the easiest for your prospective customers to pick up on.

Vehicle wrap..

There are a few companies online that do vehicle wraps at wholesale prices . They will print it , ship it to you , then have a local installer put the wrap on your vehicle . I'm about to do a full wrap on my 30X8.5 enclosed gooseneck trailer w screw less exterior . You can't beat the attention digital graphics provide to your business , website , etc .

http://www.wrapvehicles.com/wholesale/

From their site :

Studies by the American Trucking Association show that 91 percent of people notice words and pictures when displayed on trucks. Metro trucks are seen by 14 million pares of eyes a year. Take advantage; show more than just a name on the side of your van. Let wrapvehicles.com create an instant billboard for your business. No other form of advertising offers a lower cost per impression value than vehicle graphics. One delivery truck with an effective design can generate millions of impressions per year. Imagine the results with a photographic image larger than life getting your company noticed, day in and day out.

Black letters with a yellow outline!!!!

I think you should go for a dark red color for the truck with the writing in bright white. You can try out a glossy red color so it would look good and bright even from a distance.

I like your logo--however it seems to be fightin' with that darn door handle as far as placement goes ...
