How it works

What is a digital mobile billboard truck?

A large digital advertising screen. A planned route. Your message on the move.

A digital mobile billboard truck carries LED advertising screens through selected streets and markets. Your creative travels with the vehicle, bringing a campaign into the neighborhoods, business districts and event areas you want to reach.

The basics

A digital billboard that travels.

Instead of renting one fixed roadside location, you book advertising on a vehicle that operates along an agreed campaign plan. The display uses LED panels to show digital artwork, rather than a printed poster.

Think of it as one part outdoor advertising and one part local campaign coordination. The city, route, time of day, creative and length of the campaign work together. A restaurant opening might focus on nearby dining districts; a convention campaign might concentrate on visitor travel between hotels and the surrounding area.

LED screens

Large exterior displays present your campaign artwork to people nearby.

Planned operating areas

Routes are coordinated around your audience, dates and feasible public streets.

Digital creative

Artwork can be prepared and scheduled for the selected truck and campaign format.

The advertising display is made up of connected LED modules. Behind those modules are the wiring, control equipment and power systems that support the display.

These manufacturer-supplied views show examples of truck construction and internal equipment. Truck sizes, layouts and configurations vary across the network.

For advertisers, the key step is matching the artwork to the actual truck assigned to the campaign. We confirm the relevant screen specifications during planning.

Know what you are booking

The specifications that matter.

There is no single screen specification for every truck. Before artwork approval and launch, confirm these details for your campaign:

The vehicle and displays

Screen dimensions, pixel resolution, number of advertising faces, supported file formats and any motion-content restrictions.

The campaign and reporting

Operating dates and hours, route priorities, dedicated or shared allocation, creative changes and the documentation included.

Common questions

A few things advertisers ask.

Can I choose where the truck goes?

You can share the districts, businesses or event areas that matter to your audience. The operating plan is reviewed for local rules, traffic, closures and vehicle access.

Can the advertisement change?

Digital artwork can be changed, subject to the creative schedule, file requirements and terms agreed for your campaign.

Can you guarantee impressions or sales?

Campaign documentation shows the activity included in your package. Route records and photographs are different from independently measured audience impressions. Ask how any audience estimate is calculated; sales depend on many factors.

Do the trucks have sound?

Audio equipment and permission to use it vary by vehicle, location and campaign. Confirm availability and local restrictions before planning an audio activation.

How much does a campaign cost?

Pricing depends on the market, dates, operating hours, number of trucks and campaign format. Send your requirements for a quote.

What should I put on the screen?

Start with one clear headline, recognizable branding and one easy next step. We provide the artwork specifications for your assigned vehicle.
