artverb* has three trucks in its fleet: Herb, Yoshi & Hiro

“HERB”

Born in 1985, Herb is the original green machine that started it all. He is still used locally in Toronto, but since he isn’t climate-controlled or lift gate equipped he is designated mostly to transporting installation tools and art wrapping materials. Though not used as often, he can be specifically requested for Toronto jobs including parades and parties.
