How about "Flower"? Built to handle what you can throw at her, but just like you, a girls name, you were warned that would come up

Very nice looking rig. The logo seems risky, but lots of ugly green x-FS rigs wandering the state. 2009 was the last year for the FS to buy green rigs, all will be white from now on. In 6 years there will scarcely been a green rig in the fleet.

Really? That must be why I've been seeing the white trucks. I was thinking maybe they denoted a separate division of the FS or something. I learn something new every day.

x2, except having worked for Team Green, it didn't take long to learn that there are no foreign vehicles in their fleet. One used to be able to distinguish what funding was used to purchase which rigs by their color, along w/how well they were correspondingly maintained (GSA $ = white rigs, better resale value, longer PM intervals)

Ref the color: my employer also used/s a distinct color, which adds approx 10k to the purchase price of each vehicle. We don't worry so much about resale, as the FS flips rigs every 5 or so years, and we move 'em to back line status at 10y+.
