We have played around with the idea of custom graphics for years and finally the chance presenting itself.

While attending Landstar's BCO days in Jacksonville, FL we talked to the owner of a truck that had custom graphics and lettering that looked fantastic. He told us where he had the graphics done and we knew next time we were in that area we would be stopping by to see what they could do for us.

We finally made it to Joplin, MO and the home of Thunder Grafix . Our timing was not the best as we stopped the week before MATS and they were swamped with Chrome Shop Mafia work. Knowing that the longer we waiting the more of chance we were talking with shadows we decided to wait till we could get into the shop.

Pictures were taken of our truck before hand and on the day of appointment we met with Nicole and she asked what we had in mind. In reality we did not have anything in mind but we knew the theme we wanted. No outlaw look and we wanted to coordinate our Team Run Smart logo with the new graphics.

In a short period of time Nicole was back out with her computer showing us a few different designs. We liked ideas on each picture and she easily manipulated the graphics and we all decided on one. There was never a rush and she was there to assist us with our decision not make our decision. While we were looking at the computer our old signs were being pulled off and the truck being readied for new signs.

We started the process at 9 in the morning and by 5:30 our truck was complete and we were ready to get back on the road. Our truck went from looking like a company truck to a very personalized truck that we are thrilled with.
