Overcoming Challenges with Truckie
Truckie was originally designed with cloth material, but Two Men and a Truck quickly discovered that cloth was difficult to clean. To fix this conundrum, Two Men and a Truck and Olympus worked together to change the material from cloth to vinyl. Since vinyl has a slick texture, it is much easier to wipe off any dirt Truckie would collect. If you’re in the design process for a mascot, Two Men and a Truck say you should
make sure that your costume is washable if it is going to be used regularly.
Another challenge Two Men and a Truck finds is shipping and storing their mascot. Truckie is a large mascot – roughly 45 inches tall and 32 inches wide – so it takes a great deal of planning to get him from one event to the next. Two Men and a Truck accommodate Truckie while traveling by transporting him in a custom sized travel bag!
