For Advertisers
Hopper Ads gives you access to a fleet of bottom trailers traveling daily along I-90, I-39, and key commuter corridors feeding into Rockford and Chicagoland. Each trailer offers a massive 40-foot canvas that captures attention in ways no static board or digital ad can match.
Unlike traditional billboards locked to a single location, your ad moves with traffic -- passing through interchanges, rest stops, fuel stations, small towns, and urban corridors every single day. Research shows mobile billboards generate up to a 97% recall rate, compared to just 58% for static boards.
Start Your Campaign
Simple Process
Choose dedicated trailer placement or multi-unit fleet dynamic coverage across our active Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin freight network.
Provide your own design or let us create custom billboard artwork optimized for highway visibility and impact.
Our professional team handles the vinyl installation using low-tack material that protects the trailer finish.
Your ad hits the road immediately, generating daily impressions across high-traffic commuter and commercial routes.
Advertiser Tech Stack & Live Verification
Campaign reporting: GPS route trails, mileage records, and heat maps, with a live advertiser dashboard rolling out. We don't guess impression yields — our ingestion software matches 3-second live GPS telematics against published IDOT and WisDOT annual average daily traffic (AADT) GIS datasets and FHWA vehicle occupancy factors (1.67) to deliver transparent, documented reporting.
