Think about this rationally, in your entire life have you ever been sitting at a red light and wrote down the phone number of the vehicle next to you and used their services? Probably not. Hey look, it's a total stranger. I think I'll invite them to my home. Do it if you want but seriously, don't expect any jobs from it.

Yeah, all those billboards that multi-million dollar companies use are a waste too. You may not have received any calls from someone saying 'I saw your sign on your truck.', but I guarantee you it got you jobs. It's about familiarity. Average times someone has to see / hear your name before they will even consider buying from you? At least 7 - some studies put it higher.

Just as an example, if I saw an electrician's truck at some of the nicer homes in the area for a year, and needed an electrician, who do you think I would call (or ask friends about)? If I saw a white, anonymous van parked at the same homes, it wouldn't help me one bit on who to hire as an electrician.
