I know this topic has been hit before but lets hear it again. I drive an unlettered/unwrapped truck. My old truck was always lettered but havent done this one yet... How many of you swear it gives you more work? I am kind of torn on it

I think it helps with some work. how much, who knows. It still makes you look more professional or business like, as opposed to a guy that shows up with a truck with ladders & cages in the back. when I first started, with no lettering on the truck, people would assume I worked for the county or town

I just invested in a newer truck and our plan is to have it wrapped.Think of it as a rolling billboard,advertising works but some advertising more so than others.What I feel is important is that you have a logo or Brand that the public can relate to you and your business.Branding is a very important aspect of selling your product.If you put your brand out there enough people will associate it with your business and although they may forget your name they will remember your brand.I think that spending a little with a professional designer to have a logo developed is good money spent.Eye catching wrap with a good logo is a win win in my book.
Any day above ground is a good day!

Only if it gets to the point and has your number or website easy to read. If you have a whole bunch of empty words than it's as pointless as having no lettering.

I have a lot of people tell me they have seen me on the road and remembered me. And I do get calls from folks while driving. It has helped me. Cooner22 is right, keep it simple.

Ditto on the getting jobs!
We have several commercial jobs that we are not allowed on the property in unmarked vehicles. I lean toward the lettering.

Okay Nic, you know how honest and truthful I am. Despite that fact, if I were going to advertise at all, I think I would go with the
full wrap. ( The local police would know my vehicle either way ) Since everyone knows that the vast majority of our customers are of
the female persuasion, my advertising mind tells me to wrap my new vehicle with male strippers. Unfortunately, the sane part of my
mind tells me that I could attract a whole new clientele that might not fit in with my heterosexual life style. Decisions, decisions.
