The ordinance prohibits all advertising on the sides of trucks, which is a form of commercial speech. Commercial speech is protected by the First Amendment, and the government must have a substantial interest in regulating it.

In this case, the government's interest in regulating commercial speech is to prevent visual clutter and traffic safety. These interests are unrelated to the suppression of free expression, so the ordinance is likely to be upheld under the principles of due process.
