these trucks are all painted to look like what you see. they are actually regular box trucks. if i saw the guy driving backwards i would pee.

my sister sends them in email form, but i don't know how to copy pics.
so, i look them up . in this case i looked up "paintings on trucks" or something like that. and sure enough, that's where they always are.

aren't these a riot? i'm telling you, i would have a heart attack if i saw that truck with two drivers going in different directions at once.

my sister and i are the 2 funniest women in north america. well, there may be someone funnier, but i haven't met her. or modester, either. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

If you look real close, the shadows are all the same. I'm thinking these are computer generated illustrations. That many companies having the same truck and trailer would be extremely rare. The shadows under the truck are exactly the same, as is the placement of the squares on wall in front of the cab. Some of the pictures have been cropped so that you get more or less of the background.

Cool ideas, tho.
