Mine’s called “Southern Star” but it isn’t really a he or a she, it’s a lump of metal.

The first one I drove for my current company was named ‘Bob’ by my kids - not after anybody, they just came up with it - apparently it had to be a boy’s name because it was a MAN.

Current one, my lovely Actros, is named Emily after my niece. Wifey wanted to know why it wasn’t named after her, with a great deal of smarming I wriggled out by saying ‘because there’s only one Sami in my life darling’.

Neither lorry has the name on it anywhere, it’s just how they’re known in the family (and more so these days in the office as well).

Mine was named before I got it, it’s called Peterbilt

I refer to it as ‘her’ and usually call her 361 as that’s her fleet number

[kr79]

I call mine marathon as its about on par with a leyland marathon

[paulnowak]

Mine is called “Truck”

Every day when I get in, I say “morning Truck” and that’s it.

I’m not so sad that I say goodbye at the end of a shift

My motors are all memorials. I’m retired now so my motors are all toys. My preserved lorry is called “Bud” in memory of father, 57 years a lorry driver and HGV instructor when he retired, he’s been gone 25 years. I’ve an early Landrover named “Colin” after the nephew who gave it to me when he took it against a bad debt. He dropped dead 2 days after his 40th birthday. My big brother died 4 months ago, he was an ex-lorry driver, haulage contractor and REME mechanic. He left me a little bequest, I bought myself a little Mazda MX5 for the summer if we get one, it’s called “Freddie”, guess why? I used to run a little old Merc 307d 3.5 tonner, it was called “Annette”, after my ex sister-in-law, German and very noisy. Some of the lorries I named were a TS3 Commer named “Catweazle " due to the “TSK” noise the brakes made, you’ll need to be a certain age to know about Catweazle”. Other were a D308 dodge called “Yellow Peril”, and a K series dodge called “Purple People Eater”, due to the colours they were bought in.

We have about 20 different units so could drive a different one everyday unless i got a night out so can’t get personal with them but if i had the same one then probably name it after my daughter Ruby Alice.

[kindle530]

No names. I cant stand seeing motors ‘named’.

[theantbox]

I call my regular drive Trev. No reason behind it. I say morning Trev to it each day. Others I drive are Trev wannabes. And its not a he or she.

[wavyok]

Mines called ‘SHED’ when I’m in a good mood and F@@@@@g SHED when I’m not, because my garden shed is bigger, its a day cab dinkly daf. Guess which name it gets called nearly all the time.

[wildfire]

[truckulent]

I wouldn’t, it’s a lump of metal that belongs to someone else…

Nor do I have a name for my microwave, kettle or TV…
