Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

This doesn't make sense no matter how you read it. What the shit were they going for?

"High mileage" and "our trailers" makes sense if you're advertising to potential drivers but I don't know what "power only" means.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

'Power only' means you don't have to bring your own trailer, just the semi if you're an owner/operator, and they reiterate that point by saying 'our trailers'.
