I'm not sure how I got on this particular page but found some company giving away truck lettering packages for $79.95 Looks like it's time to put them on the payroll I wonder if they will sell wholesale to us. Hmmmm....

Well just hold on a sec and lets to the math.
Equipment..Turn Key Sign System from His Ex-Wife's, Second Uncles best friend that bought it to letter his Pinto Race car but since Pintos are difficult to find anymore he was going to sell it on Ebay but was offered $500 for it. So he took the sure thing.
Overhead.. Spare closet right next to bathroom in his $200 a month Government assisted apartment with LEAP energy Adjustments.
Materials...New line of 24" Intermediate Vinyl from South Korea that has a crappy release liner But why does he care. He doesn't have to apply. $45 a Roll and he Don't use Red.
Now he is in the $79.99 Truck Lettering Business.....PRICELESS

Hahahahaaaaa...letteres/numbers by the pound!
On the other hand, if you figure 2" letters, about 100, or so, of calandered vinyl...not a bad profit! About 3 yards of vinyl. Or another approach....75¢/letter.

Giving Away? The way it reads it sounds like it would be about 4 feet of 15" vinyl(two apx 12-14" x24" door letter sets) weeded and taped for $80, thats $20 a foot.

I've got guys around me that will do that in two colors with a logo installed (even if a trip is involved). Needless to say, I don't do much truck lettering.

Hey, now clients can have DIY all-caps Brush Script! Woo Hoo! Whoever buys this deserves exactly what they get, and hopefully this company will soon run itself out of business before it does any permanent damage to our industry. Love....Jill

Looked around the site and found his "Truck Stop Locater". Here in Evansville we have 4 truck stops. 2 Pilot TS and 1 Flying J TS, all very nice and clean. We also have a locally owned TS called Busler's TS, it is one NASTY, Smelly hole in the wall. And after all them year OTR I have seen my share of TS, good and bad. This is one of the worst.
Guess which one they have listed.... ...the only one listed for Evansville
