A Pink Dump Truck
I think pink is an odd choice of color for a dump truck. At least, I used to. Now I know that whenever I see a pink one around my hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, I can be fairly certain that it belongs to the Pretty Girl Trucking company.
I don’t have a website for them, but many thanks to Susan (comments, below) for setting me straight.
