I love my truck, like my second wife. Sounds weird but that’s what I feel. I mean, gives me protection from the weather, warm during cold and cool insuring summer. And gets me where I need to drop off a load and pick up. I drive a full cab not a day cab.
Do I name my truck? Don’t mind if I do, my human wife is nickname is Tiger, so my second wife (my truck) Cheetah. I mean she’s fast as hell. Some days. I can talk how I’m feeling and knowing that it won’t be spread. So Cheetah, just drives and follow my commands but I treat her like a man should. Second relationship. I’m not cheating
Tell me yours.
Do you truckers love your truck?

I do everything in my truck. Yes, everything. I even cook from scratch, if the weathers bad I’ll do a work out inside my truck with some dumbbells, he’ll I’ve even entertained a few ladies in my truck, but when she breaks down, I know immediately I’m in for a couple long weeks moving gear back-and-forth and losing stuff in my truck driving experience just being more chaotic.Another Canadian driver, Rideandrepair, 77fib77 and 4 others Thank this. -
No my truck is a tool. I have no loyalty to it beyond keeping it as well maintained as possible to get as many miles our of it before it has major breakdowns.

I've never been able to come up with names for vehicles. When I was a kid it was "the white station wagon". Then my kids called my first truck the red truck, the flatnose, your uncle's truck and now my current one is "your truck".

Not many owners with preemission cat, detroit, cummins powered trucks backed by 18 speeds anymore. Bad arse petes, kw and freightshakers. The guys that took pride in their ride and loved trucking amungst like minded fellows. So now all you left with is new generation eople with problem plastic trucks and automatic transmission emisson junkers who just do it to make ends meet. These guys that stlll around get roasted for having seat down low, shifter up high, and blowing black smoke with straight pipes and chicken lights. But hey good luck with this thread. Probably will be mostly filed with people that hate there job and where lifes path brought them.
