About Us
Big Rig Wraps brings a diverse group of experts together to create and install innovative truck and vehicle wraps on owned and privately-owned fleets.
Brands travel farther on our local, regional, national and international routes, garnering greater reach than traditional out-of-home advertising.
Our team of brand strategists and specialists know how to attract more eyeballs to products, companies and causes. We draw on this expertise to create wraps that align with brands and get attention. And we track performance relentlessly.
When we launched in 2013, we focussed on delivering good return-on-investment (ROI) for our clients AND creating an innovative, positive work environment for our team.
The result is better than anticipated: We are proud to have evolved into an inclusive company where all employees feel valued, respected, and engaged. This collaborative and supportive climate enables us to meet the needs of our customers, employees, suppliers, and communities. We believe that varying opinions, approaches, and perspectives are the cornerstones of a strong, flexible and competitive company.
This team synergy has propelled Big Rig Wraps to win four 3M Awards for our wrap designs, achieve top-level recognition for sustainability as well as several Business Excellence Awards.
We Support Your Organization
We are thrilled to help charitable organizations by creating awareness of their cause through truck advertising campaigns on massive moving billboards. Transport truck advertising’s capacity of reaching highly targeted audiences across North America makes it effective and greatly beneficial for charity campaigns and non-profit organizations.
Some of the causes and organizations we’ve supported: ALS Canada, Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention, Feed The Need in Durham, Know Human Trafficking. (Add Portfolio links to each organization)
Sustainability & Environmental Conservation
Sustainability is more than recycling. It’s about using resources wisely and conscientiously to create a business that will thrive for generations, to be responsible for our consumption, and to encourage others to make less wasteful choices. Every aspect of our operations adheres to sustainability best practices. Perhaps this is why Big Rig Wraps has been nominated several times as a sustainability champion for the business excellence awards.
We place advertising on space that already exists (transport trucks). The additional funds we generate for fleet partners make it possible for them to adopt green processes, including the re-use of materials and efficient fuel and energy management. These initiatives have extended equipment lifetime by an estimated 80 hours per truck each year. That means less equipment heads to landfills every year.
In a few short years, efforts and initiatives at Big Rig Wraps have prompted:
- Multiple fleet companies in Canada and the U.S. to stay in operation.
- Many fleet companies access government incentive plans to upgrade equipment and transport trucks. (note: most government incentives require a significant owner investment or matching funds. With new equipment regulations and the increasing costs of fuel, many operators didn’t have the disposable cash…until Big Rig Wraps).
- Fleet expansion.
- Upgrading equipment to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. At minimum, 500 lbs of CO2 is released per truck per year and that means at least a 4 per cent fuel savings per truck per year. Some studies show a fuel savings of more than $2,600 per year per truck.
- Increasing maintenance and the installation of eco-friendly equipment, which reduces landfill items by minimizing strain on engines and other parts by an estimated 80 hours per truck/year.
