I am in desperate need to get a bucket truck from Darlington SC to Dallas Texas & one from the delivery point in Dallas Texas back to Darlington SC. The truck in Darlington is 9' 8" tall & 21' 4" long & the truck in Texas is 10' 9" tall & 24' long. If any of you have, or know anyone that has a low boy trailer that would be willing to do this for me, PLEASE contact me. E-mail signsplus2@aol.com The truck in Texas can be picked up first if that will help. Doesn't matter which order - I just need it done as quickly as possible.

Thanks

Angie

Shipping them will cost a hell of a lot more than driving them. Drive one dowm and pick the other up.

I really appreciate it - my husband had a stroke last year & I can't make the trip alone and don't have anybody else to make the trip with me, and I really don't want to put over 1,000 miles on either of the trucks. That's the reason I am having to have it done this way.

Thanks!

1000 miles should not even phase those trucks, hire someone to drive them for you.

We sold our old crane truck to a very small company in Reno. My hubby (has a CDL) was at that time working in a job he absolutely hated, so he took a week vacation and we drove it down from WA state. The boss paid our expenses and airfare back, gave us some "spending money" and we had a blast. Now hubby works here and it's all good!

Angie, maybe you could look into that kind of situation - it's gotta be cheaper than trucking the truck!

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
