Trailer advertising · Montreal

A 53-foot billboard that rolls across North America.

Placement Stratégique sells the ad space on working dry van trailers. Your brand travels the highways of Quebec, Canada and the United States — seen in traffic, at the docks, downtown, day and night.

How it works

Three steps between your logo and the highway.

01

Your creative

Send us your artwork — or we design it with you — then we install it on the trailer in large-format vinyl: partial lettering or full wrap.

02

The trailer goes to work

Our trailers are in active service for working transport fleets: highways, distribution centres, industrial parks and city cores.

03

Your brand travels

While the trailer is in service, your ad accumulates kilometres and impressions. No fixed location, no site rent: the road generates your visibility.

Why trailer advertising

Both sides are lettered

Your ad works in both directions of traffic, on any road. A static billboard faces one direction only — half the traffic never sees it.

1,080 sq ft of surface

468 sq ft per side, plus 72 sq ft on the rear doors and the same on the front. That is 61 % more than a standard highway billboard, which caps out at 672 sq ft on a single face.

Zero site rent

A static billboard charges by the week for one street corner. Here, the location changes constantly — and it's included in the price.

Measured, not assumed

GPS tracking and a monthly visibility report are included: real routes, cities crossed and impressions estimated from official MTQ traffic data. A static billboard reports nothing.

Even stopped, it works

When the Métropolitaine jams up, your trailer stays in drivers' field of view — sometimes for minutes. And at loading docks, in industrial yards, along the curb, it keeps working where no billboard is allowed to stand.

Canada – U.S. coverage

Montreal, the Quebec–Windsor corridor, the Maritimes, the U.S. Northeast: reach follows our fleets' freight routes — and you choose the territory.

A static billboard shows your ad to the same people. Every. Day.

A fixed board lives on one street corner: the same commuters drive past it every morning. A trailer changes routes, neighbourhoods and even countries — your budget buys new eyeballs, not repetition.

Static billboard

  • The same commuters, morning after morning
  • One 672 sq ft face, one direction of traffic
  • One location, chosen by whoever owns the board
  • On digital: your message shares the screen with other advertisers
  • From $5,000 per WEEK — over $20,000 a month
  • Site rent resets to zero every posting period

Our trailers

  • New routes, new neighbourhoods, new eyeballs
  • 1,080 sq ft across FOUR faces: both directions of traffic
  • You choose the territory — local to international
  • The side is 100% yours, 24/7 — GPS tracking and visibility report included
  • A fraction of a static billboard's cost: the mileage is already covered
  • Rolling AND parked: at docks, in yards, along the curb

Highway 40 traffic count, Quebec MTQ AADT 2024

Traffic counts: annual average daily traffic (AADT) from Quebec's Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable — public "Débit de circulation" dataset, over 4,500 counting sites. A static billboard occupies ONE spot, on one of these highways; our trailers run those same highways, then keep going into Ontario and the United States. Impression method: per hour on the road, a trailer meets roughly twice the hourly flow of oncoming traffic — closing speed doubles the encounter rate — plus the vehicles that overtake it. Applied to Quebec MTQ traffic counts at 1.2 occupants per vehicle. These are estimated opportunities to see, not guaranteed views.

A model that keeps everyone rolling

Our network gives access to trailers in service with real carriers, on real commercial routes. We buy the advertising rights on their sides: the fleet owner earns revenue on an asset they already run, and your advertising rides genuine routes — not trucks driving around to advertise. Two winners, one 53-footer.

Advertisers

Large-format mobile advertising, tailored: number of trailers, faces, duration and territories to match your goals.

Fleets & carriers

Your 53-ft trailers already in service generate additional monthly revenue. We buy the advertising rights, cover the wrap entirely, and impose no route obligation.

You choose exactly where your advertising travels

We work with trailers in service with active carriers, so the targeting is as precise as your media plan. An industrial district, a city, a region, a province or specific U.S. states — you define the territory, we assign your advertising to the units that serve it.

Local

City or district

Highest impression density

Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke, Gatineau, Saguenay — or one specific industrial district. The same pool of customers, seen again and again.

Regional

Quebec regions

Several markets at once

Greater Montreal, Capitale-Nationale, Eastern Townships, Mauricie, Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Outaouais: one region or several, to match your market.

National

Canadian provinces

Interprovincial presence

Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta… Target the provinces where you sell — one or several. Montreal–Toronto: 540 km, so 1,080 km of exposure per round trip.

International

U.S. states

Cross-border coverage

New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Texas… Target specific states or full corridors. Boston 510 km, New York 600 km, Chicago 1,350 km.

A city, a region, a province, a state — or any combination. The targeting is as precise as your media plan.

Impression volume depends on traffic density, not mileage: an urban loop generates more impressions than a long intercity run, because rural highways carry far fewer vehicles. Local and regional maximise volume; national and international buy territorial coverage and awareness across several markets. The actual routes of the trailers assigned to your campaign are confirmed with your quote.

Large-format vinyl printed and applied by professional installers, on both sides, the rear doors and the front.

Frequently asked questions

Truck and trailer advertising, explained simply.

How much does truck advertising cost?

Every campaign is built to measure: number of trailers, faces (sides, rear doors, front), duration and design. For comparison, a highway billboard in Montreal starts at $5,000 per week — over $20,000 a month — for one fixed location. Our trailers change audiences constantly. Request a quote: fast answer, no commitment.

What's the difference between trailer advertising and a static billboard?

A static billboard is mostly seen by the same commuters, day after day, in one spot. An advertising trailer crosses the same traffic — Highway 40 in Montreal carries 182,000 vehicles a day (Quebec Ministry of Transport, AADT 2024) — except it doesn't stay put: highways, distribution centres, city cores, other provinces. Your message constantly reaches new people. And because a billboard has only one face, half the traffic never sees it — the trailer is lettered on both sides.

Is the advertising visible from both sides?

Yes. Both sides of the trailer are lettered, so your ad works in both directions of traffic, on any road — plus the rear doors for the traffic behind you, in jams and at red lights. A static billboard faces one direction only: half the traffic never sees it.

Where do the trailers travel?

You choose the territory precisely: an industrial district, a city (Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Sherbrooke, Gatineau…), one or several Quebec regions, the Canadian provinces of your choice, or specific U.S. states. With a network of trailers in service, we assign your advertising to the units serving that market precisely. The possibilities are practically limitless.

Who handles installing the creative?

We handle it: partial lettering or full wrap in large-format vinyl, professionally installed. No artwork ready? Our graphic design service is available as an option. As in any media plan, production (design, printing, installation) is billed separately from the advertising space.

How long does a campaign run?

The minimum term is six months. We offer 6-, 12- and 24-month terms: the longer the commitment, the lower your cost per square foot and per impression.
