jackb61sx Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I am going to finally get the truck all lettered with my name on the door. The thought I had was that seeing as I have no sons I was going to have the truck Lettered,,,,,J O'Donnell Jr & Daughters North Chelmsford Ma.,,,naturally not the way it looks here but that wording, I will leave it up to lettering guy to decide on the layout of it. My thoughts for going with daughters was that the other truck says sons because its My father and I and the Superliner is mine and I have no sons, but my Daughters do take an interest in the truck and help me do things to it and do like to attend the shows to see the trucks. Some comments I have gotten are that it is to " girlish" to have daughters on the truck. Me personally don't see it that way so that said I am posting it here to gain your feed back and any and all are welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post farmer52 Posted July 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2014 Your truck...do as you please. I see no issue with "daughters" on the side. After all, it is family and they take an interest. 4 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/#findComment-251402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
upsman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Neighbor farmer had four daughters, oldest one worked with him on the farm. He bought a MH600? with a 500 hp v8 so none of us other grain haulers could catch her! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/#findComment-251404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb61sx Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Family was my other thought aswell for the truck, my wife likes that.

Reuhlz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I don't mind Daughters at all, especially since they are involved in the hobby. I would say that "& Family" could be a little more timeless. In case some day in the future there would be additions to the family then the name on the truck would still be accurate.Just my 2 cents,Drew Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/#findComment-251422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 mate if your girls help with the truck and so on it wouldnt be right not to put daughters on the door you would have to be proud of them so if they were my girls I wouldnt hesitate go for it Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/#findComment-251427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmlinton Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I say whoever is involved is part of the gang and I have seen lots of "and Daughters" on trucks. I just found out today my eldest daughter is now a biker and, out of two sons and three daughters, the most likely of the lot to take an interest in my B-30 is my second daughter even though my eldest son is a driver on the Mississauga, Ontario fire department.You got daughters taking an interest in the old trucks, make 'em proud and acknowledge them for the world to see .... and Daddy ends up proudest of all.

j_martell Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I also only have daughters, and though the truck isn't mine, they have seen it a bunch of times, and both love it ( oldest one REALLY likes the air horn, but I gotta crank the seat all the way up so she can reach).....if I owne my own it would be "&daughters"......Anyone who said it was girly could kiss my a**....But then again, I don't generally give a s**t what people think or say of me...... 2 Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

dmlinton Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 My girly girl second daughter near ran me down with a king size mattress she was helping moving UP to the second floor and is the only person besides myself that I have seen pull the fifth wheel, rack and all, out of my RAM 2500 and carry it away out of the way. She put a guy in hospital once because he got playing too rough - not that she tried to - it's just that what happens if someone inspires her to escalate to her capabilities.

Popular Post jackb61sx Posted July 3, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2014 I like the & Daughters myself, and talking with the girls they like the & Family because they said who knows what the future may hold ( they are 25 and 21 yrs old) and they like that it could include there families in the future. So sounds like we are heading down that road. There names are on the truck now and they love that I appreciate everyone's comments.Jack 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/#findComment-251459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayhair Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 By all means, go with daughters. Family is too generic. Or even better, family and then list their names below bulleted. Maybe get your sign painter to work up several possibilities..

Phase 1 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 By all means, go with daughters. Family is too generic. Or even better, family and then list their names below bulleted. Maybe get your sign painter to work up several possibilities..That is what I was going to suggest. I like "and daughters", but it could be - "O'Donnell Family Trucking" or "The O'Donnell's", and below that, in a line, maybe angled upwards, Jack (wifes name) (daughters names).

Bobby Covert Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Every situation is different. When I get to that point on My B-model I plan to put my Dad and sons name on the passenger door in the same font that my Dad had on his B-61 Back in the day.They are both gone from me. but I think it will be neat to see that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36226-name-on-truck/#findComment-251515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
