Or just start noticing that different truck lines use different colors - examples: England company trucks are red, Schneider was orange, Werner (I think) uses blue. A lot of owner operators buy whatever color tractor (the power unit that pulls the trailer) they want - or is available, if buying used.

Great job & remember its like a hug from home on a lonely night.

I teamed drove with my husband for 12 years. That was where we LIVED six weeks at a time. A quilt makes it homey and warm when driving up north in the winter. Glad to be at home full time.
