Thanks, Thayer.
I will give it a try.
I thought there might be a labeling plug-in which would simplify there
process.

Hi Mike,
Download an SVG (scalable vector graphic file) of each shield from
Wikipedia and then set in the Labels tab of the Layer Styling panel
set the text to your road's name as you like, then in the Background
subtab (looks like a US interstate shield) check "Draw background",
set shape to SVG and click on the ellipsis (...) and navigate to your
shield's SVG file. Then you need to adjust the offset, shield size and
the text size and color, etc.. It takes a while but when you figure it
out be sure to save the style to an SLD or QML file so you can reuse
it. If you are using PostGIS or other database you can save the style
in the database as a default for your highway lines.
