Vehicle graphics ideas

I am going to toss the truck magnetic signs and go with professional lettering for the truck and trailer. I would appreciate any and all advice and past experience on what to display and what to not display. Just to give you an idea of my services. I do commercial/residential concrete, soft wash roofs and home sidings of all types, commercial buildings, dumpsters and pads, etc...... This would be a great time to show off your vehicle graphics. Btw I will loan my magnetic signs out to friends that will advertise for me.
Thanks in advance,
 
Here is how we did a truck.
I believe in keeping it simple.
Better to have a few BIG LETTERS, then a bunch of small, unreadable ones ?
The Phone Number is THE most important one, and must be visible.
My employees hated this truck, preferring our flatbeds.
But it was super effective in getting work.

Not a week went by that someone said "I saw your truck"

I credit much of the success of Apple Roof Cleaning to this truck.

A full truck wrap will cost a few thousand dollars. It sure looks impressive, but I think similarly impressive results can be achieved with a nice lettering job and a few spot graphics.

Kemp, check out my website and look at my truck. It might give you some ideas of things you would like/dislike for your own truck.
 
Some companies will do a half wrap with lettering for much less. Here are some photos of a couple of my trucks that are wrapped. I'm planning on doing all of them once things slow up a bit.

This is my carpet cleaning van. I want to have my truck wrapped and geared more toward pressure washing. I have to advertise all my services to get the full benefit though.

Spencer, That looks really good. I didn't know you were into all that. I like the rig settup. You got anymore pics of it close up?

I went to a franchised sign shop just to satisfy my curiosity and got shocked.
I have an E250 full size van sitting in my driveway trying to figure it out how to layout the inside, and I asked for a full wrap.
$3000 AT LEAST. he said, and a little more if you want the roof done.

WOW !

I can give you a deal on your roof:p

Spencer, those are some really nice graphics.
 
I would like to have my catch phrase added to the side of my van. I think it just would help it stick out. Especially my catch phrase "The Personal Touch People". I have just really noticed catch phrases on other vehicles. You would not believe the customers that say "I see your vans all over town". Well I only have one. I usually say yeah we are all over the place all the time. Which is a true statement because we are all over the place. Larry, here is a closer pic of my rig.

I appreciate all the feedback so far. I am looking at something like this. The truck will be done first and the trailer will be done later. Gotta see what the cost will be. I will try to talk to the graphics guy today.

Kemp, That looks great. Sticks out like crazy. The only thing I would have done different is take the RAM 2500 off the door and centered the lettering on the 2 doors. Just my opinion. It really does look great! Should make your phone ring!!
 
Kemp....just curious how much it ran for all that lettering?

Anthony, The original quote was $250. After a little talking he charged me $212 out the door.

Spencer, Thanks, If your going to say it say it loud! I didn't want to remove the truck badges. I'll let you know how it works out. Btw, a full wrap would have cost me $3500. Not in the budget.
