1. Is the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System legal? Yes. Our vinyl banner frame may be the only truck frame in the U.S., Canada and Mexico that is legal when placed on both sides of a 102" inch wide truck. TRUCK ADSŪ has done extensive research regarding this issue. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) has strict regulations about the legal width of a truck on all roads in these three countries and most metal frames don't qualify.

2. What is the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System guarantee? We have a lifetime frame warranty and will replace any damaged or defective frame not the result of the purchasers fault for free. Shipping charges not included. As far as we know, TRUCK ADSŪ offers the only lifetime frame warranty and replacement guarantee at no charge.

3. Which frame system costs more - metal frames or TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System? Metal frames. When you compare all factors including, shipment, installation, replacement, repairs and removal, the metal frame system costs much more than the TRUCK ADSŪ Flex-Banner Frame System.

4. Do TRUCK ADSŪ Frames damage the truck or wall in any way? No. The billboard mounting kit is bonded to the mounting surface and can be removed without damaging the surface. No holes to fill or paint to touch up.

5. Does the banner need to be stretched as tight as a drum? No. Unlike all banner stretching metal frame systems where the banner must be stretched tight and often times re-stretched occasionally to stop the banner from banging the sides of the truck, the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System requires no stretching. During installation, the flex banner must be "pulled" straight and square and this is done without tools.

6. Does the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System get dirt and road grime embedded in it? No. TRUCK ADSŪ Frames remain clean and free of dirt and grime because it is a closed system and there are no pockets or joints that can fill up with water and dirt. Metal frames have many groves and pockets that are susceptible to collecting dirt and grime. This can cause metal frames to freeze up and difficult to remove when it comes time to change out the banner.

                                                                

7. Is it necessary to remove the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame when you sell your truck or trailer? No. Our frame system is a value added product for any truck. That means a 53 foot truck is worth about $1000 more than it would be without the frame system. It will likely be useful to the next owner of the truck. If they don't use it, the system remains practically invisible. You can't say that about most metal frames that look like picture frames without a picture, when the vinyl isn't installed.

8. Can the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame be custom fitted around curves and irregular corners and angles? Yes. There are many circumstances where you may want to cut the vinyl into an unusual shape to fit on a wall. Also, there are many times when the bull nose corners at the front of the truck are curved and our frame system will accommodate these special situations beautifully. Metal frames cannot do this.

9. Are the TRUCK ADSŪ Frames heavy like metal frames? No. We have billboard mounting kit sizes from 5 square feet to 900 square feet and our heaviest frame kit which covers the side of a 53 foot trailer, weighs just 8 pounds. Compare this to a metal frame needed for this size trailer, weighing 75-150 pounds.

10. Do TRUCK ADSŪ Frames cause drag and contribute to higher fuel costs when mounted on a truck? No. The frame projects less than 1/4" from the sides. Even when the vinyl banner is not installed there is no wind drag. You can't say that about some metal frames that have pockets and can actually cause the metal frame to loosen over time. This creates a potential safety hazard and higher fuel costs.

11. How far does the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame project out from the side of the truck or wall? Less than 3/16 of an inch. It is less than all other systems available today. No wind drag and less chance the frame system will be damaged by foreign objects coming in contact with the truck. According to USDOT regulations, the maximum width of a delivery truck cannot exceed 102.36". Be sure the frame system you choose is legal and does not cause your truck to exceed these limits or you could be asking for trouble if your truck is in an accident or your driver is pulled over for a traffic violation.

12. Does the vinyl on a TRUCK ADSŪ frame system ever need to be re-stretched? Never. Unlike metal frames that occasionally require re-stretching, our system keeps on looking great for as long as it is up. The vinyl banner in a metal frame system will actually start to bang against the sides of the truck from the wind after awhile and will need to re-stretched to prevent this.

13. What weight vinyl should I use? The TRUCK ADSŪ frame system requires a minimum of 12 ounce vinyl up to 23 ounce maximum. For most applications, we recommend the 12 ounce vinyl. The lighter the vinyl, the less fuel you burn up going down the road. Most metal frame manufacturer's won't recommend 12 ounce vinyl. They use 16, 18, 23 or 28 ounce vinyl so the vinyl won't loosen so quickly after installation. Our system with 12 ounce vinyl won't loosen over time because it is not stretched during installation as required for a metal frame system. Also, heavier vinyl costs more per square foot.

14. Is the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System safe, or will it loosen over time like metal frames do? The TRUCK ADSŪ frame system is strong and safe. It will not loosen and tear away from the truck body over time. Compare this with metal frames that are rigid. Metal frames do not breath with the truck like the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame and over time the rivets attaching it to the truck will loosen and possibly make the system unsafe and dangerous.
