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 aren't thin enough to meet the strict code.

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 framing system remains 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 truck side 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
billboard attaching 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.

I buy it?

size cannot exceed 3mb.

16. How do I order TRUCK ADSŪ Frame Kits?
Unlike banner sizes which can be
critical,
frame kits can be cut with scissors to fit the exact banner
size. Ordering a frame a couple of inches larger is not necessary
either, because each kit contains the right amount of frame
and Secur-TabsŪ plus 1-2ft, depending on the size of the frame
ordered.

17. What if I make a mistake and need more frame?
This happens occasionally, when the frame
on the truck is installed before receiving the banner and confirming
the banner size. Measure twice and cut once is the best method.
If you need a patch frame for the substrate or the banner, go
to our home page and select a black or clear frame from the
drop down menu labeled "Dual Lock and other Products". Frame
patch kits come with all necessary items for proper repairs
and replacement.

18. How strong is the TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System?
Our proprietary, patented frame system
is strong and safe. See technical bulletin,
How Strong are TRUCK ADSŪ Banner Frame
Kits? Our frames were tested
safe by one of the world's leading independent vehicle testing
facilities and have logged in over 87,000,000 miles, without
failure. The TRUCK ADSŪ Frame System is safe so long as installation
instructions are followed and authorized kit components are
used. All frames come with a
lifetime limited warranty.

19. Why do frames for walls cost less than frames for trucks?
Most TRUCK ADSŪ Frame kits on stationary
walls and billboards cost less because less frame is required
for this type of
installation.
When ordering for stationary installations, indicate if the
application is for "glass or ceramic" or "other" surface. If
you prefer, purchase
Dual Lock Kits
at bulk prices, for stationary installations only.

20. What are the mounting surface requirements for the TRUCK
ADSŪ Frame System?
TRUCK ADSŪ Frames will securely adhere
to raw metal, metal with baked on factory finish, fiberglass,
glass and ceramic. Frame will remain in place until you decide
to
remove it.
Surface where frame is to be attached must be a non-porous,
smooth flat surface. Do not install TRUCK ADSŪ Frame directly
to wood, brick, concrete or non-baked on painted surfaces. See
installation instructions
for additional details.

21. How long does it take to get TRUCK ADS Frame Kits shipped?
Next
day delivery available on credit card orders received by 11am
ET. Available shipping options include next day air, second
day air and ground shipment. Subject to Carrier limits.
