I agree. Another example of Americanised twaddle and management speak we have to endure these days. I remember when a ‘refuse disposal operative’ was a binman.
Yank trucks normally have very little on the truck or the trailer. One of my favorite is on the back of the trailer our most valuable asset sits 65ft forward with an arrow pointing to the front. Or they say money talks so our drivers shout the loudest

Not sure if they’re still about but when I used to live in Leicester, there used to be a skip hire company by the name of " T. Watts", that always looked good on the front of the wagons.

Is their yard next to LSPS South Wigston?
Surely this chap comes high up. Nothing rude about it just makes me smile.
Our main yards are on Barkby Road, Thurmaston. But they have yards all over the place, so maybe! I just haven’t been there yet!

Another was ‘Pratt & Co. Independent Banana Ripeners’ - what exactly IS an independent banana? and why does it not ripen the same as a non-independent banana?Steve
Pratt & Co are still about I often see them on the M40 heading North bound, and I to have wondered what and independent banana is and why it has specialist ripening needs.
A friend of my Dads specialises is grain haulage and all his lorries have “The Grain Train” on them.
There is also a cattle hauler I have seen around who have “If it sh**s we shift it” on the back of all there cattle trailers, that one still makes me chuckle.

" You’re following one of the best!" - Jack.
I worked for Jack for 4 years,but I hated the fact that they dropped ‘Fakenham Norfolk’ from the trailers for the reason they didn’t want to be seen as a ‘localised’ haulier but as a national ‘logistics’ provider.
As others have said, it’s nice to see lorries all over the country with an identity and where they are from, I’ve always hated the word logistics and solutions plastered over everything cause its ■■■■■■■■!!! 
Fairly large Company (Linfox) out here Runs this on all their vehicles. However, they are a bit like the Stobart of Australia
Company I work for has a no BS approach to their vehicles. Just their name, and “Food Service, Seafood Distributors & Ship Suppliers” Underneath their name, in varying forms depending on the livery
However, they have a big huge phone number in plain sight…
When I was driving for Kingsmill, I had “Delivering Fresh Idea’s” emblazoned on the site of my wagon.
I dont know if anybody remembers a Daf tractor unit that i used to see now and again at Ashford truck stop, it always brought a smile to my face. On the side of the sleeper it had " UK- Urope(crossed out) UK-Eurup (crossed out) UK- Abroad, plus the lines on the side of the cab looked like someone had been painting them and fallen off the ladder as a result the line suddenly went down to the ground. It had many other touches which made you double take every time you saw it.
There is an Office Supplier in Warrington which has ‘Caution, stationary van in front’ on the back doors.
Another couple I have spotted around the North West;
On a waste disposal truck 'Our business is rubbish
On a drainage company ‘You poop, we scoop’
