Paper Sign Sightings

Some operators run trucks with a hand-written paper sign in the window or taped to the door, naming a carrier they have no connection to. If you spot one, photograph the sign and report it here. Every photo is reviewed before anything is published, and a photo shows what was displayed — it does not by itself establish who placed it.
