    Just curious....:biggrin_255:

    My favorvite was Miss Daisy as she was the oldest gal in the fleet.

    My last rig was Sidewinder: a 2000 FLD that rattled whenever you backed up:biggrin_25511:.

    A few were just named POS.....

    Ol' blackie. Sure was pretty. As for POS well, I'm sure that will be just about every truck's next generation cousin with the exception of a few that will get real name's!

    I could swear this has been discussed in another thread, but was unable to find it. DOGGONE SEARCH $*&^^*:)biggrin_25510:

    (And no staff, I'm NOT asking you to spend big bucks to change it, I'm just bellyachin' about it.):biggrin_25525:

    Anyhow, I think the name of the truck depends entirely on the day you are having at a particular time. And whether the truck is giving you problems or not.:biggrin_25523:

    I only have a name for mine when it's acting up and the it's usually a couple of choice expletives and they will vary each time.
