Hey everyone... I'm very NEW to this board (as of today!).. but was wondering WHERE to get one of the bed covers shown on the Terminix truck... or at least, the correct name of it?? I have a pest control company and would love to put this on the trucks! Thanks

Edit: whoops, old thread. Still applies though!

How about this? Better yet, throw on some clear buttresses on the sides to contain the vortexes.

Help? :)

Sven, thanks but I'd love the one shown on the Terminix truck, I need the height but not a full cap, and access on the sides. The traditional caps are just a waste of space and I like how the lower profile one looks (I'm a girl, I don't care about how aerodynamics..lol it's just gotta look good!) Thanks though....

I've not seen the cover as used by Terminex,used by anyone else.
You might GOOGLE their corporate office,call and talk to their fleet vehicle person and see if they can lead you onto the source.

These are also for sale for use by veterinarians. That company may have some suggestions.

You might have better luck calling these guys and asking if they can find a manufacturer's tag on it.

2004 FORD F350 XL Light Duty Trucks - Pick-Up Trucks 2WD - 1 Ton For Sale At TruckPaper.com

Looks to be a pumping-specific topper so it's probably pretty low production volume and therefore expensive.

Thank you!!

Thank you SO much for the idea, first and foremost it says "turtle unit" in the description so I may be able to find it that way, secondly, my parents are in FL right now ... near Tampa, my dad is "THE" old car guy..in our area (Boston) so he'll be able to get the info, third.. thank you for going out of your way to post it!!

No problem. My first thought on seeing the Terminix truck was



BTW I couldn't find any of the vet things with a similar shape to this.
