I know some of you are just being humerous with your comments, but I'm with 1nonly, 379, Lilbit & JackF and agree that it hurts the image. Especially for the kids!

STOP advertising and just let it happen! hehe

I can't believe my sister is/was a flasher, and most recently my mom thought she'd give it a shot while I was driving! Must have been because I told her I could probably find her a single driver she could ride with occasionally since she doesn't get out much.

Well, I'm sure it started with my mom first, then my sis-- ahh the 70's! Hmm, I think I remember joy riding with my mom & her friend when I was a teen. WTH!

Speaking of where it all got started... You would have thought it started in the sixties and it was a woman flashing them before the driver asked for it. Ya think?

Youve got a better chance of it happening if you dont ask for it. I have my wife with me and it happens all the time.

I don't ask for it. I don't have a place to write it on the flatbed, and considering we can't even have a "no lot lizards" sticker, I'm pretty sure a "show 'em" sign wouldn't go over well. I look for it, just never get it. I do occasionally get the good-looking girl giving me a nice stare-down, but that's it.

I do have to agree getting flashed every once in a while would be nice but.......Don't write on the back of the trailer kids see it and that is not kosher...They need to have respect for us not get a "weird Vibe"..

You're more likely to find it on your trailer when you work for a less than reputable company. Usaully it wipes off easily, though.

To tell you the truth, as many years as I've been around, I never noticed what was written on the back of a trailer until I read this thread. So on a recent trip I started looking. Going from NC to OH and back I only saw 2. 1 said "Don't be a flirt, when you go by, lift your shirt." My wife wouldn't do it. The next one said "Got God, Jesus Saves." Now you've got me reading the back of all the trucks.
