Around here, there is a large fleet of stone/gravel trucks - everything from semi's to triple-axle dumps to smaller dumps that have the cabs painted pink, so I guess I'm immune.

Saw an old post of yours and was wondering how you were doing. Ha, if you have any spare empties, I could use storage. We call that piggy-back around here...

I wear lots of pink shirts. You'd be surprised how masculine it looks when worn well. Pink was a boys' color in the early 20th century. I have no idea how or why girls co-opted it.

Hello Everyone!!
I have been busy. Around the middle of July I managed to get my DOT medical certificate back and therefore was able to get a truck driving job again YIPPIE!!!
So since around Aug 13th this girl has been working her but off!! I promised myself I wouldn't dive in working 10-12 or even 14 hour days like I did before but I can't seem to help myself. I went back driving Intermodal (train only) containers for J.B. Hunt and I have really been working my but off. I have been working 6 days burning up most of allowed 70 driving/working hours. I am trying hard to get my hourly rate up and replenish my bank accounts.
As a result most evenings I don't get home until 1830-1900 or a little later and all I want is a shower and some sleep! So not too much internet time most nights.
If you have a question or want opinion, which I am always happy to give, to hesitate to mention me or even PM. Email with lots of info and pics is good too. Bianchigirll@yahoo.com
OH its bedtime already!!

noglider> I have no idea how or why girls co-opted it.
If I had to hazard a guess, my guess would be a movie (maybe animated) from the 1930s (when color first became widely available) which was extremely popular with little girls. Snow White was released in 1937, though I don't think she wore pink. Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz seems to have been dressed in a rather pink gown. Maybe a Shirley Temple movie from that era?
