    Prime is selling ad space on the side skirts of the trailers. There's another whole website devoted to it.

    "Whether you want to run an ad campaign for 6 months or advertise a product for 3 years – we can provide these options with our patent pending - to the minute - ad removal system."

    "will replace all damaged ads immediately at no cost. We will also change out the damaged ad at the time of damage, so there is zero transit with advertisement in bad shape."

    Patent pending removal system? I can just see a QC message coming through for me to remove the ad at my next fuel stop. I get issued a roll of replacement banner ads with each trailer swap?

    Ive seen the pics, the ad holder looks like the same sliding type hazmat placard holder, only on a much bigger scale. We all know how well those work without some sort of adhesive tape.

    Whats to keep wind, mud, dirt and other drivers from destroying the ad? Driver going to be responsible to repair when the ad is vandalized?

    Bet that revenue wont be shared in your lease agreement.

    :biggrin_2558: sounds like squeezing every cent is the only thing prime excels at these days.

    Pricing looks to be $350-650 per month depending on how number of trailers used and how long they are on there.

    (I know you are joking)

    I guess if they get real desperate the skirts could say "Juicy" and "Pink" on them. :biggrin_2559:

    C R ENGLAND is going to ADVERTISE for drivers on the skirts of PRIME TRAILERS as no one will read it if its on a CRE trailer.

    As slow as Prime trucks go, or should I say impede, lots of folks will get to see them!
