ABSTRACT:
A substrate upon which an advertising message may be printed is releasably attachable to the side of a truck in a way that prevents the substrate from flapping when the truck is moving at high speeds. The upper edge of the substrate is retained within a rigid frame mounted in a recess formed in the side wall of the truck, and is quickly insertable into or removable from such rigid frame. The forward edge of the substrate is wrapped around the forward corner of the truck so that wind cannot get under the substrate, and a plurality of front-mounted winches pull the forward edge toward them so that slack is removed from the substrate. The rearward edge of the substrate is wrapped around a rear corner of the truck so that the effective width of the truck is not increased by attachment hardware. Another plurality of winches mounted on the underside of the truck engage straps that hold the lowermost edge of the substrate so that activation of the winches pulls the lowermost edge toward those winches to further remove slack from the substrate. In a two-sided embodiment, a first set of cargo tie down straps and winches are disposed in overlying relation to the front wall of the truck and used to interconnect opposing forward edges of respective substrates, and a second set of cargo tie downs and winches are positioned under the truck and used to interconnect opposing longitudinal edges of respective substrates.
