    That's funny. He had plenty of room to hang it under the lights.

    Hey don't make fun of me. It got me through Indiana. I didn't hang it under lights cuz I figured wind would take it. I need to get a mesh banner. .. plus I couldn't really figure out how to attach it. (I'm stupid and don't do many oversize)

    I have banner hangers for flatbeds that I had made. If that was my trailer I would run a chain straight down through the stake pockets by the tail lights and hook the hooks around the bumper, then use a binder to tighten it so you have 4 verticle points to stretch your sign against. It wouldnt be perfect but better then what they have.

    Sorry didn't kno it was yours. Jumbo has a good thought with the chains on the outside edges. Otherwise hang it under the lights catching the bottom edge of the trailer and tie the bottom to the DOT bar. Your sign has to be readable from 50 feet that one probly isn't.

    If your banner has eyelets in the corners take the hooks off a bungee, put them on the banner and use the little holes that are drilled for the mudflaps. If you have just a rope on the banner use the bungee hooks in the little holes then run the rope through them. Leave the bottom flap if you have to.

    No sweat. If I had better planning, I coulda devised something, but I didn't know I had to banner it until I was almost to Indiana (Missouri and Illinois didn't require). Once I got to the 156 petro on 70 it came off since OH and PA didn't require either


    I need to get new ones. .. mine only have twine to tie off and I knew the wind would yank that cheap crap off


    I got a chuckle too, I'm just glad I didn't get a ticket....

    I'll have to remember the chain idea..... that sounds good until I can build me some thing. I've only done 3 OD loads, this is my first flat. I usually put the banner on the back of the load
