    I'm pretty sure the use of the word "muppets" may be considered a pejorative. :biggrin_2559:

    We used to deliver to a place in Spokane that color coded the product like that. We just had them put some cardboard on the deck and never had any issues. Guess I’m the odd man out in this convo. Lol

    So that’s what happened to all the Earl Schieb employees.

    Absolutely not - it’s often a VERY CLOSE resemblance :)

    Update.

    So they started to unload me. Moved the first pick to the side of my truck and started to spray paint it there. I told them no. Move it away from my truck to paint it. He said no! I said OK stop unloading me, get your boss. He said he WAS the boss. I literally laughed at him and said OK your boss then. Well the manager came over and I explained to him look man my truck and trailer together cost 200k. It'll cost me 16k to paint it. Just please paint it elsewhere. He understood and actually scolded the guy unloading me. Said if it was his truck and his money he'd be just as concerned.

    Great news. That guy had no intention of respecting your truck or trailer. Good thing you stayed cool and talked with the manager who rightly straightened the guy out.

    it could have been that famous never seen painter, Banksy

    your truck could have been famous as well, and maybe many offers to buy it, would have come your way

    My sister, of all people, had her car painted by them. Did the same color as original. It was actually good work. She did the $149.00 package deal.
