For HVAC businesses

Put your HVAC company on the city garbage truck

A printed panel in a frame on the side of the truck. Spring tune-up in March, AC in June, furnace check in November.

Why this works for a HVAC company

Your message follows the weather

The printed panel swaps in under 30 seconds. Run the tune-up message in spring and the AC message in summer. A new message still goes through design, review and printing first.

A framed sign, not a wrap

The printed panel slides out of the frame. We make the frames and print the panels ourselves, and Roadway has built sign frames for refuse and recycling trucks since 1987.

Count your own calls

Add a tracking number to your panel and count your own calls. In each city we will sell one paid advertiser per truck.

One panel, three seasons

  1. March

    Spring tune-up

  2. June

    AC not keeping up?

  3. November

    Furnace check

Example messages. The printed panel swaps in under 30 seconds.

How you will know it worked

Put a unique tracking number on the panel, or a short web address that only appears on the truck. Then ask 'how did you hear about us' on every service call. You count the calls yourself. We do not promise leads, calls or results.

What your panel must carry

Your California contractor license number, as Business and Professions Code 7030.5 requires. Contractors without a valid license cannot advertise on a truck.

Sample

Desert Air Heating & Cooling

Lic. #123456 (sample)

Common questions

How long is the commitment?

Three-month minimum. Ask us about what happens after.

Can I pick a route?

Trucks are assigned by the city. Pick your city and we will show which areas its routes cover.

Who checks my ad before it runs?

In each city, every ad will be checked against that city's written ad policy before it runs.

Step 1 of 2

What kind of business are you?

Cities have to approve ads on their trucks before we can sell any. No city is open yet.

We use what you send to answer your request and follow up. We don't sell it. See our notice at collection and privacy choices.
