Those have been floating around the web...


...they're neat, but as you've probably noticed, are not 'real' trailers...if you look at the backgrounds you will see there are two of them, and all the rigs are in the exact same location...still neat to look at.

I believe there is an advertising 'award' here in the US that goes to the most unique truck/trailer signage each year - the ones that cover the entire surface are usually the best.

I can remember seeing the back of a trailer with an image that looked like the rear doors were open, and you could see the materials inside - food stuff, as I recall, and rather clever - but I'll bet they got a few calls about 'leaving their trailer doors open'...:tumble:




According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Mexray & Cincodemayo:


I received these in an email from a colleague. I thought they were worthy of a post and a nice distraction on Christmas weekend.

Thanks for the comments. I wasn't aware of the website.

Feliz Navidad.

I saw a lot of neat stuff on trucks for the 17 years I traveled for my work.


In florida I saw a plumbing contractor's truck literally emblazoned with: "Your s**t of our bread and butter". In Chicago a big sanitation truck that promised: "Satisfaction guaranteed or double your garbage back." The SF Chronical's late genius Herb Caen would have loved the pet-sitting pick-up van I saw in Vancouver BC. The company was: "Furry Godmother".



Undoubtedly, there are people who cannot afford to give the anchor of sanity even the slightest tug. Sam Harris

"The situation is far too dire for pessimism."
Bill Kauth

Carl Sagan said, "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
